Topic: Lexan Windshield - Screws or Clips?
Hello -
We are replacing the REAR glass with Lexan. Front glass is staying in. I like my OEM glass in front of my head and face.
Anyway, rear glass is out, and the lexan was cut from its template. All looks sweet.
Now, to fasten this thing...
Could go full Lemons and line the window frame with some door gasket, use self tappers and be done...at least for a race or two.
But, I've read how lexan has some expansion/contraction properties that might fight those tapped holes and crack the lexan. In addition the screws would be secured at a relatively narrow edge, making the hole fairly unstable. Some have suggested the window can "float" and fasten it down with clips.
What say you? And where are such clips...man I don't want to fabricate a bunch of bent metal clips really...
