Why plastic rear windows instead of glass on convertibles?

I have a question for your convertible guys. How many of you have a glass rear window? I am shocked at the number of high end vertes out there that have the clear plastic rear windows. I would think that If I forked out the big bucks for a Z8 or something like that, then I would at least be given a glass rear window. Don't ya think? The Pontiac Sunfire has one. The Chrysler Sebring has a glass rear window too I believe. Why can't a Miata have one? Or a BMW? Aren't they a pain in the butt? Do you Autopians with convertibles prefer one over the other? I wouldn't imagine that a rear window defroster would matter for a convertible since they aren't really cold weather cars. I feel sorry for the guys who have to try and get their convertible warmed up in the cold Utah winters. Anyway, I was just wondering if you ever feel a little ripped off because they didn't put in a glass, or at least plexiglass, window back there. Why do they use the plastic anyway?
