The way it folds there is a seam at the top of the glass and bottom . The glass panel just folds right on down.

the top folds in 3 spots with the largest section being where the glass would lay flat. That's why you loose about half your trunk space with a vert

I would guess the vert will have a glass blacklight. Ford usually uses glass in them. One of things I have always liked about their verts.

Looks like glass to me. Plastic doesn't hold it's shape that well, nor does it reflect that well.

Of course they are glass. Ford is cheap but not that cheap.
