glass on spider's hardtop is perspex or real glass ?

Post by abcman3000 »

A quick question. A standard spider's (BS1, CS1 etc.) hardtop has a pig transparent surface. What is the material ? Is it glass or plastic ? :?:

I could be wrong but I am led to believe the abarth were Perspex (or some form of plastic) and the later pininfarina were glass??

My hardtop is an Abarth hardtop and therefore there is Perspex instead of glass. I never had a spider's Pininfarina hardtop so I wanted to check if it had a different "glass".

Most of them were glass, the Perspex ones are rare, supposedly fitted only to the CSA.
