Free tip: put a soft string in the rubber, place the lexan on top and pull out the string over the lexan, the rubber will set over the lexan and doing so you don't have to scratch the surface with a spanner or so.

@@4thdimensiontravels855 It has very, very high impact resistance, but it scratches really easily. I had to put up sneeze shields at the counter of my practice during the pandemic. I used 1/8” thick Lexan panes. Every day the techs would clean them with a paper towel and some water and soap. After a month the Lexan had gone all misty with the tiny scratches. This car window is going to scratch during normal washing, hand or machine. Also, PC is not UV stable. Lexan uses a thin layer of UV protection which deteriorates wildly when it’s deformed, causing the stuff to take on a yellowish milky tint.

@@peterdefrankrijkerI did similar work extensively when the pandemic hit. It's far from indestructible as stated by another comment, in fact I used special drill bits just so I wouldn't chip or shatter it when drilling holes.
