Tempered glass still breaks.

Lexan does not.

The cost to fabricate a tempered curved glass for a 66-67-68, in a quantity 
of one, far exceeds the cost of the Lexan. Adding the metal moldings to the 68 
windows served two purposes. With the metal moldings on the windows, you can 
now easily see them when they are open. Ask people who have split their head 
open walking into one of those windows without the moldings at a rally.

Secondly, the moldings add rigidity to the windows as well as improving the 
looks.

Therefore to most people, the Lexan windows "increase" the value of the 
trailer, by knowing that the windows are very secure. Adding the metal moldings to 
the 66 and 67 trailers, likewise, adds to the value.
