Did a quick search with no results. Can lexan be set on top of the factory window, then both slowly heated in a large oven to form the shape? Obviously it'd be a little bit larger, but would the basic shape be the same and would it work?

Thanks

 

technically, yes. the "drape" temperature of polycarbonate (lexan is a name brand, technically, there are several others) is roughly 350 degrees... you can get factory tempered glass that hot, but not instantly. slow heat=no problem.

its very do-able, but you need absolute patience, a good heat gun ,and a big oven of some sort.

 

Def don't heat the glass to fast or you'll end up with more than one piece. The lexan is pretty flexible though. unless your doing it for the look its really not necessary.

 

youre not fast enough for lexan fool

 

Seems reasonably easy, with patience like you mentioned. I'm very concerned with the window looking flat and not molded. I know it won't look like a factory glass window, but molded is 100x better IMO

Nobody said I NEED lexan. I want to lighten the car.

 

i am working on molding lexan within a week. what kind do you need (what car?). PM me, i might be able to hook you up
