Post up your DIY Polycarbonate windows and hatch

[powellds2]

So I've been browsing around and seen some of you buying the Lexan rear hatch and side glass, who's done it themselves? How did you form it to the rear hatch? I am looking to do this for my 2g track car. Also, has anyone done polycarbonate driver and passenger windows on a 2g? If so, pics? Post up advice, comments, pics!

No one has done this? I thought a few of you had. How are the ones that you guys bought holding up? I really think I want to do this....

I've done it, fairly easy and held up great.

Care to elaborate? Did you have to heat form the rear? Or did it flex enough to lay down?

Just busted out the glass on my spare hatch and pulled the weather stripping out, it was all old and crusted so I couldn't save it. I'm about to start into the project but was hoping some of you would share your experience and/or troubles while doing it to make the process easier. I'm pretty sure I can handle it, but always appreciate the input!

Make a template, but lexan to fix and install. It forms very nicely looks pretty good. I recently ordered speed glass because I want it to be weatherproof.

Where did you order your speed glass from? All searches I've done have ended up dead ends.

Anyone have any pics of a diy lexan hatch for a 2g?? Also, best place to purchase from?
