Does anyone have any opinions on rear window types?
I've found a local supplier for small quantities of 'Marlon' and 'Tuffac' (sp?) types of polycarbonate.
I need to make both the rear deck window and the bulkhead window. When I removed my stock (warped & discoloured) GTD window I was amazed at the weight of it... I thought this stuff was supposed to be lighter than glass???
The stock GTD window is 5mm thick. I was wondering if a 4mm window would be too thin and flexible??
As this stuff is pretty expensive, I don't want to buy any more than I need!!
Those of you that have made windows, what thickness polycarbonate did you use & any particular brand??
FWIW my new side windows are only 3mm thick, but I guess the curvature gives them extra strength.
