I sold all 4 backglasses at TPF. As far as I know, no distributor has any.

Well I am happy with the way the backglass turned out. I don't know if the 1/8" glass vs the 3/16" glass will make a difference in the long run. It seems to fit just fine and it doesn't rattle any more than the original did. The only concern I can think of would be temperature changes causing the backglass to expand and contract which over time causes the backglass to peel. Would a 1/8" glass expand more than a 3/16" glass? Maybe Maybe not. I am not real concerned as my game will be in a somewhat temperature controlled environment.
I know their will be color differences because of age, different production runs even on the original games but the darker blue in the plastics is just too far off from anything original and quality control should have caught that and been corrected before production took place.
I made a video of my thoughts and ramblings wile I installed the Star Trek Prototype backglass and plastics so here's the link.
