I've had good luck with a small jigsaw(electric) with a tiny fine blade. I'm
sure a larger fine-toothed blade would've worked, it was just handy. Mine
were Lexan, so YMMV. Be sure to cut oversize the first time and trim to fit.
I'm the owner of the only "first undersize" backglass for a 4000q, arghh.
