Lets see... i took out the stock windows.. bought the 2mm LEXAN (plastic´s) placed the LEXAN on top of each of the windows & marked the sizes. & then i just cut the LEXAN. very simple really. - since you never see the outer rim of the vindows sue to the rubber seals & stuff, you dont need to have the lexan bits exactly the right size. kris |

Some new pics from today!
KristianAE86- How much weight did you save by chaging the front door glass and rear quarter glass to Lexan? I have been contemplating on doing this, but not sure of the weight savings. Thanks.

Hi Eric ! (nice place of work you have, if youré the guy working for Rhys) changing all the windows (5pcs) except the windshield, for LEXAN, saves about 80-85% in weight - (hatch window is HEAVY as stock) best regards/ ..................Kristian H - Sweden PS: here in Sweden i can order 2 different whindshield´s.. On is 5,8mm / one is 5,2/3mm - This also saved about 1,5 kgs |

Hello Kristian,
Yes I do work for Rhys. Thanks. I have removed my rear hatch and replaced it with a FRP one and a 3mm lexan rear window. I was thinking of changing the rear quarters and door windows. Do you happen to know of the weight of just those pieces? Any help would be much appreciated. |

,, nope, sorry i dont know thw exact weight savings... but atleast 80% per window i´d say - perhaps 90% depending on how thick the LEXAN. |
