A different but effective aproach my brother took on his SilverHawk was to screw a full liegnth sheet of either Lexan or plexi into the front of the T-Top posts. He then mounted tracks on the posts at a 90 degree angle to the front and mouted the thick grade strata glass. The front panel was very clear and maintained good visability when wet. It was also inexpensive to replace if it aged quickly or got scratched. People used to think it was an EZ2CY Panel.

That application is normally done with the standard vinyl. I have the EZ2CY2 on mine and the stuff is amazing. Very rigid and clear, no distortions. You may want to look into getting that if they can fabricate correctly. The initial expense is worth it. Good luck
