Plexiglass to replace broken rear glass in 1990 245 wagon? 200 1990

Walking by my beloved 1990 245 'White Lightning' two days ago, I noticed my tailgate glass was completely shattered. As I gingerly opened a door, the window instantly disintegrated. No neighbors for a few miles up here, except deer, bobcats, vultures, and the occasional cougar, so who knows what actually happened...

Anyways, the auto glass shop quoted me at $450 for glass, $80 for install. The nearby junkyards have mid 80s 245 tailgates for $250. In looking at related posts here at Brickboard, I see that the 1990 and newer 245s have flat glass for the tailgate.

Could I cut out a piece of plexiglass to fit the tailgate and just RTV it in place? Anyone done this?

Thanks for your help,

Ian
