I know of several supppliers of polycarbonate (PC) windows (including GT-racing.com) but I'm led to believe lexan is the better choice. Wondering about the pro/cons of lexan vs PC:-

- is lexan harder to scratch?

- is lexan harder to break?

- is lexan lighter?

- is lexan more difficult to make?

- is lexan more expensive?

etc



Do you know of a supplier of 944/968 rear windows in lexan?

Polycarbonate and Lexan are the same thing. Lexan is a brand name. Plexiglass is different stuff (and not what you want).

OK thanks (I learn something every day ;-)

Maybe its the older "perspex" that is softer.



By the way, I seem to recall you (or was it Bjorn) have a PC rear window that is 3mm thick. I am looking at local supplier offering 5mm PC window. He says they found 3mm too flimsey. What do you think?

Bjorn had the 3mm hatch, mine was 5, IIRC, and came from GT Racing. I would think the 3mm would flop around quite a bit, even my thicker one does some.
