An aircraft style roof window in a '31 Model A Coupe. I can get plexiglass but it isn't very durable.

I think you'll find that Plexiglas is very durable, but more brittle than Lexan. I don't think that Lexan stands up to UV as well. Either will scratch easily compared to auto glass though. Keep ammonia based window cleaners very far away! You need to avoid any stress on attachment holes. Make the holes oversize to allow for thermal expansion and don't screw the panel down more than just touching.

"plexiglas" cleaning - only use a "plastic" cleaner made for this purpose (like Brillianize) and a soft cloth, preferably a chamois, NEVER paper towels.
