From what I've seen it's just two aluminium straps fixed to the outside of the hatch.
edit: I find it hard to believe that it would be legal because you do not have a rear demister.
Im pretty sure legally you only need a front demister of some sort.
ADR8 covers this though.
I think if someone did some testing on materials and supplied pre made windows with a test report you could manage to get plastic windows engineered. But yeah, too much effort....
Mine's just using the stock window gasket. No reinforcements, been that way since Feb '06.

Oh thanks I forgot about the stock gasket...that was another thing I wanted to know. Good to know it works.
2 aluminum strips obviously would stop the bowing etc

MOPAR or no car!
And that's your rear hatch? No bracing required?
I've never had an issue at all. Not even at speed with the windows down on track doing 95mph sideways into turns...
It gets 'sucked' inwards when driving with the windows down as the interior of the car becomes a much lower pressure area. It stays neutral with the windows up.
