Default Lexan

Lexan is not DOT approved. They're used in race car applications. Find a glass company, tell them you want a Lexan MR-10 windshield, they'll buy the materials. Give them the old glass, they'll use it as a template, cutting the Lexan is a delicate operation. It will crack if not cut properly. They can install it in the frame, you install it in the car. I've had mine in for 18 months, have used the wipers, drove it 10,000 miles, sold the car to another and it's still going strong. Keep it out of direct sunlight (that's easy), it won't yellow. No complaints here. My new car will be delivered next week. If and or when the first windshield cracks, I will replace it also with Lexan.
