See this post for color references:

But wouldn't the purple line not be parallel to the edge the purple arrow is pointing to if the lexan was not perpendicular?

Or are they not parallel? The reflected angle is double the actual bent angle, so maybe, since there would only need to be a tiny bit of deflection from vertical?

I'll zoom way in on it in photoshop, and see how "vertical" the purple things actually are.

Update: They're very vertical.
