    Is perspex road legal?

    Thinking of making a replacement perspex rear quarter as i cannot get or find a glass one and wondered if it would be road legal?

    Some prodution cars use plastic for side windows....such as the early Ford Focus 5 door (rear 1/4) so I'm guessing yes.......
    I have a polycarbonate sunroof......no MoT issues........

    im not saying it is road legal but if you look into tinnting on rear windows there is no restriction. so im thinking if tinnting is ok then why not plastick windows for the rear # after all the megain rag top has a plastick rear window ohh and so has the 19 cabrola

    not sure about front windows as in screen and doors etc

    RAC windscreens fit them as tempory repairs if they have none in stock but that is only side windows, front and rear have to be glass legally for some reason
