    Plastic on the Spiders, glass on some TB's/TS's, and some sort of lightweight polycarb on the 348 Competiziones.

    It is apparently fairly common for the rear window on the 348 tb/ts to de-laminate around the edges, which can make it appear to turn white.

    I imagine if you had your old window to use for a pattern, you could have a plastic/Lexan sheet bent to match the curvature and dimensions, but it wouldn't have the embedded defrost wires.

    Installation labor is probably pretty stiff as well.
