Even though nowadays the windshields are made out of laminated glass, which is usually safer, resorting to materials other than glass is not uncommon for special applications such as racing, and once in a while I see windshields made out of plexiglass on cars to which a stock one made out of glass became harder to find. Quality of such plexiglass may vary.
