Hatch Glass replaced with polycarbonate/lexon or whatever plastic its called

I've been running my rear polycarb window with NO 'stiffeners' for 6 years (Feb '06). The window gets sucked 'inwards' when driving anyways, even with my windows down sideways at 95+ mph I've never had an issue. Installed with a flat-tip screwdriver and fingers in my original gasket.

now Im sure thats the response we were loking for

Are you running the polycard at the same thickness of the original glass?

That was my concern, it would get flexed IN by the pressure, come loose, and then fly out the back.

Also have my rear triangles done in lexan, no issues, easy to work with. No "braces" at all, pop riveted around the edges with a light bead of silicone to help.

And Gunner, you can run the rubber trims if you can cut it right and simply use a 4.5mm thick lexan sheet.

ah k cool, good to know, only ever really seen the thin stuff used

[t-nol]

Braces only for front and back, sides too small to get enough flex to worry, imo

i had a plastics shop do my quarters and rear glasses in blue tinted polycarbonate. just looked like tinted glass. it also only cost me $150 cash for all three.
all i had to do was give him my glass and he would cut it out to match. he also did the rear in a similar thickness to the glass.
the reason for that was that when i fitted the rear in, i used the original rubber seal so it looked like the original glass.
the only thing that made it stand out was the 2 little bolts i had stick out thru the polycarb. this was bolted to a brace i had run down the middle of the hatch.
the polycarb never flexed noticibaly because it was braced in the middle.
i also used this on the track and never had an issue with it coming out or anything.
