Polycarb windows?

Post by **Merlin** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:04 am

Does anyone have any links to shops that sell polycarb windows for the Lude? @4thgenphil @nafemannathan?

So far I have only found here http://www.lexan-windows.com/honda-prel ... w-kit.html

Could you not just cut your own? They wouldn't be curved but would be a lot cheaper. Or does Lexan require special cutting?

Wasn't someone looking into getting these made and doing a group buy or something???
They needed some original glass to take a copy from???

I have thought about doing my own but there are issues with cutting and fitting any accessories (ie sliding windows) plus if you get a proper kit the windows are formed specifically for your car. The Lexan kit in the link above has black borders so it covers all the adhesive holding the windows on. Just curious that someone might have come across a different company.

these are the guys i spoke to, they need the windows to copy from. They are in brizzle @wiggzis closest to them. IIRC the quoted circa £200 for a full set but did advice most jap cars have thin rear glass and that it may not be a massive weight saving to replace them with poly carb.

£200 is certainly cheap. The other advantage of polycarb on the rear is that you can remove most of the supporting metal around the window without worrying about the window flexing.
