you could fix the rear glass in place and remove all the mechs, and convert the front drivers to manual and keep the fr pass electric, this will save a few kg.
You would only save an extra 4kg by changing the glass to polycarb.

The ignition barrel weighs 2.5kg, easy to remove and replace with a couple of switches and a start button.

the door cards weigh 2.6kg and can be replaced with 3mm foamex weighing 600g and costing just a few quid.

theres plenty to be going at and easier places to save weight first.
