I hear that hard coatings are getting better, but at that angle, I'd want glass anyway, for the clarity. Running a very similar shape and angle with plain polycarbonate, I often had problems with low sun angles or headlights, especially in rainy or mist-prone weather. Even when brand new, it was noticeably worse than glass. Perhaps a hard coating can also reduce reflectance, etc.
