Reply to "Lexan fabricated windows"

A few notes on making Lexan side windows at home: first, it's simple to make your own curved plastic pieces when your wife is not around. Place a glass window in the oven with a rough-cut Lexan piece on top. Turn the oven to ONLY 150F degrees; about 10 minutes will soften the Lexan enough that it sags to conform to the shape of the glass. Then after removing the glass & plastic and letting them cool together, you can trim the Lexan to exact size. That low temp does nothing to the glass at all.
Second, select UV-stabilized Lexan or other plastic; 'regular' plastics will sun-craze within a year.
Third, the plastic can be stained or dyed to have a tint matching your windshield, by using 'RIT' brand dye from the drugstore. This is exactly how custom sunglasses are darkened by your Optometrist. The tint finishes off the lightweight windows off appearance-wise IMHO. And as Julian said, outside mirrors can be securely SCREWED to the Lexan rather than depending on adhesives.
