I'm looking for a lexan-like material to make a windshield. I was told lexan isn't DOT approved for the street. Any ideas? I'd like something that doesn't scratch easily and won't cost me my left nut.
Does it scratch easy? How do you clean it? Plexy glass is different that lexan, right?Yota Krawler said:i used a sheet of plain plexy glass and its still in there after about 3 months. cut it down with a little 3 dollar tool and used sheet metal screws to hold it in. put a few coats of clear silicone around it to make it water proof and put some black 1/2" wide duck tape around the border to hide the screws and look like weather stripping. its worked great so far and you cant really tell the differance, except theres not that navy blue tinted strip at the top. but oh well. that was my $40 solution to a bad rollover that fucked up my windshield frame!!
BTW, i bought it at orchard, its good stuff! but illegal:flipoff2: i dont care
well i'v been stupid and used my windshield wipers a few times, but i was suprised it didnt scratch at all. i'v basically washed it with the squeegee's they got at shell and it came clean. plexy glass is a lot more breakeable than lexan. but its a shitload cheaper85runnerAZ said:

I wouldn't worry about a rock shattering it. Check out the video on the ROCKSTOMPER site. http://www.rockstomper.com/catalog/pieces/windows.htmROKTOY said:Anybody concerned about the stuff shattering if a rock hits it or you flip your rig?
Hadn't heard much mention of it yet.....just price and visibility.
