I'm thinking of replacing the plastic rear window with glass, is this an easy switch ? Does it fold the same way ?

folds the same way , even better maybe..

BUT .. this is a complete job,, the window goes in first.. before the top. you have to have the top stripped off.

at least that's how it was on my 70 lemans..

I personally like the look of the plastic window that goes all the way down to the bottom,  the glass ones require a strip of material before it meet the body.  The glass ones i am sure work better, but the looks kill it for me

I just wonder how much you can see in the rear view mirror since the glass ones are so much smaller. Without door mirrors, which are not great if original anyway, reversing could be tricky.
