Doesn the sun that is reflected back through the Plexiglas increase the temperature of the glass and accelerate crazing?
Heat causes crazing. But the sun doesn’t product heat until it is absorbed. The sun’s heat causing rays act much like light rays, they pass back through the Plexiglas with very little absorption because Plexiglas is translucent. In fact, safety tests conducted by the Air Force confirmed that before the shields were approved for safe use in DOD aircraft.
