Rear window as a windscreen?

Could be more hassle than it's worth, but has anyone thought of using a glass rear window from a soft top as a front windscreen?
Potentially a nice curved shape, and heated. Just need some custom brackets...

I only ask as I've just seen a Z4 rear window for sale online that looked a good size and shape.

Obviously a post IVA idea.

windscreen has to be laminated.Not sure a rear screen would be laminated and carry the correct markings.

Thought there might be a reason. Never mind, just a thought.

Widescreen can be laminated or toughened
What it does need for IVA is the correct etched markings

Or toughened? Is that true? I was under the impression it HAD to be laminated, for good reason.

Not sure I would want to look through those heated screen lines!! If they fail a chip for the MOT I can see those lines being an issue
