I saw it cut but figured it was glass. I was under the impresion that lexan can't be "glued in" because nothing will stick to it and it looked glued in.

Cool, apparently I was wrong. What kind of adheasive do you use? I was talking to a guy about a lexan winshield and he said he had to build a frame for the shield because you can't just glue it in like glass. Thanks.

Do you have a good idea of how much weight would be saved doing a back window, and the sides? Winshield was if I chop the top.

The lexan might weigh 10 lbs.. I'll get the original sliding back glass down today to weight it. We'll have a round-a-bout weight loss. You gotta keep in mind, though we may have lost weight with the lexan, getting rid of the leaf spring set-up, and installing the manual rack & pinion, but we gained some weight back with the cage and 4-link.
