Default lexen front windscreen ?

hi guys.

i want to make a lexen fron windscreen for my 89 wagon. since its impossible to get a replacement one,

do i need to bend it? let a shop bend it or just level it with the sheetmetal and rivets and it wil "form itself"?

thanks

why is it impossible? you can run lexan or any poly carbonate windshield its probaly not a good idea as a daily driver due to it scratching an not as strong as glass but we have used it with no problems before

it will never be perfect unless you have a windshield to send them and have the lexan formed, otherwise it will just be mostly flat, i wouldn't sejest lexan for a street car
any good windshield shop should be able to get you a "oem" replacement my buddy had his replaced not to long ago by safelight
