Plexiglas = acrylic, so yeah, that's not stopping UV, but UV can make it
yellow and weak. IIRC it also shatters into sharp shards.
Not what I'd choose for a canopy.
Lexan = polycarbonate = more better.
PC eyeglass lenses are considered UV blocking. They're strong, moderately
high index, and block
Plexiglas does pass enough UV to cause sunburns, as I've gotten them in the
past in an airplane. When we repaleced the windshield in the C182, I bought
one with 95% UV blocking and could only get up to 50% IR blocking. It is
noticeably more comfortable than plain Plexiglas, whether tinted green or

Even if the UV doesn't kill the virus, a mask on hot dashboard in the

And most automotive glass is glass with plastic. Today just about all
automotive glass has at least a little tint on it which would, I'd think,
remove any UV.
