Perspex shouldn’t be used. It breaks to easy and will cause you issues. Polycarbonate is the only thing to use.

This crowd just outside of Ballincollig in Cork called Blarney Trading do plastic sheeting
.
I measured my cab and it is about 1.5 meters from window to window and approx a bit less from roof to floor.

Blarney Trading sell sheets of hard plastic which measure 1.8 meters by 1.2 meters and are 2.5mm thick (which is a Tenth of an Inch or a quarter of a centimeter) and cost 55 Notes.

Yer-man-o on the phone told me that it would be perfect fer a Taxi screen and that I could drill holes into it to fit cable ties to hold it on to the headrests but warned me Not to use a Jigsaw to cut it as it could be brittle and crack if heavy machinery was used on it, he said a simple handsaw would cut it easily.

Yer-man-o would tell you anything to get your €55 off ya.

If'n your interested Roy, then surely a Dooblin supplier would have the same product.
I would suggest a line of metal tubing in the drill holes to protect the plastic sheet from the cable ties that secure it to the head rest.
A line of metal tubing can easily be obtained from cutting a small piece from a Coca cola can and secured by a tiny piece of duct tape.
And a bit of sand paper to smooth off the cut plastic edges.

I might buy another sheet when hardware stores resume. i'd buy a 5mm thick one next time, experience will help make the cutting better

2mm perspex is flexible enough to mould to the back of the seat, so legroom does not need to be compromised

Too much work for my liking but would deffo work, I'd be a bit concerned if Ken thinks a standard handsaw will do the trick, not a hope!
