Any tips for keeping it from turning yellow over time?

Also how safe is this for DD? I've alway thought of doing the rear side windows of the hatch.

keep it out of the sun and it wont yellow.

Also lexan windows are way way way harder to break then regular glass. They are actually good anit theft devices.

Well, lexan is shatterproof. This stuff is paper thin and flexy, so it would just wad in a bad accident.

Every bad accident involving a CRX I've ever seen basically tore it in half, or stuffed it up underneath a truck, in a manner that suggests glass replacement dynamics mean ---- all. As long as you don't have jagged slivers of misc debris (plexiglass) coming at you, it is a non-issue.
