My Wind Wings on my humble Dax are polycarb after having a glass one shatter at 60mph. Glass in the face is not nice at any speed! Thank god I was wearing sun glasses.

Got to be glass everytime, buy quality.

Make sure you use the correct washers on the glass and don't over tighten the bolts. Make sure it's all square and hopefully you won't have too much problems.
I think S & J are the ones.
Take a good look at all of them and make up your own mind, but I don't think you would be happy not having glass on your car.
Personal preference that's all.

My thoughts are:
1-Polycarb make your own for less than a tenner and get the exact shape to fit your car and fold in fully without touching the bodywork, plus theyre light and safe. Downside they scratch, go yellow/craze if you get fuel on them.
2-Glass S&J make the nicest looking toughened ones, dont scratch but heavy in comparison to PC. Most original.
