Friend, you use acrylic of Perspex?
If I make an exact replacement if my window & put it back using the original brackets, will it scratch badly?
Will it warp in the hot Malaysian sun?
Will tinting help reduce the scratching & heating problem?
What do you use to cut the acrylic?

My GTi's coin box door can't be closed due to some problems with its' latch. Somehow, the old latch wasn't latching to it.

So finally I had some time on my hands and decided to become a MacGuyver for today and dip into my dad's tool box. I found some magnets, screws, metal washers...and viola.. the idea of a magnetic latch like on those cupboard doors came to mind.
