When I did my lexan rear window, I also cut the inner layer off the bottom of the hatch and installed hood pins since the latch point was now gone. You still keep the hinges. It made the hatch frame itself a little lighter. You can also lose the hatch struts then. I also used an aftermarket SS spoiler since they are lighter than the oem ones. The pins were hidden the under spoiler but still could easily be opened.
