Reply to "Lexan fabricated windows"

bosswrenchMember

Mr Hudson, a dual-pane rear window was fabricated by Ron Wade in WA quite a few years ago, but Ron thought it might keep heat out of the cockpit. The inner panel was Lexan with a low pressure N2 fill between the panes. I wound up with the prototype, mounted it on our '72 L as a test (at Ron's suggestion) and recorded exactly 1.0 dB of 'quietness' improvement from the installation. There was no discernable improvement in heat insulation- at least as I tested it.
Because it's such a b**** to change these windows with stiff 40-year-old rubber gaskets, it's still in the car today. Most people never notice it. Ron still offers these on a you-order-it-and-I'll-make-one basis, if you're interested.
