On the stock glass, they use some kind of glue to glue it on. Most race cars I have seen with the lexan window using screws or rivets to attach it. That means when it rains, the water will leak inside your car. The reason they use screws or rivets is because the lexan is not pre-formed to the curvature of the hatch. If you can find one that's made like the curvature of the stock rear glass, maybe you can glue it on like the stock glass. I don't know if there is going to be any chemical reaction though. Besides that, Lexan does scratch more easily than glass. It's a much softer and flexibale material.
