Never seen it. You would need some sort of framework to hold the Lexan in place and for some way to attach the deck lid, lift struts etc.
My Lexan rear window is a race only fabrication. The Lexan is riveted to the body skin and the decklid is a piece of aluminum attached with Dzus fasteners in case I need to access the battery. The Lexan is permanently attached and doesn't open. There are 2 supports running along the rear cage tubes to help hold the Lexan up.
Percy's may have a complete kit available but it won't be cheap. Using Lexan for any window is not street legal.
