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.
