perspex windows

[Driver]

im wantin perspex windows but its on a road going car so few questions.

1 - do they steam up any more then glass ?
2 - if you have sliding flap are they unsafe or lockable (air tight ?)
3 - if it isnt practicle to have sliding flaps do they work with leccy windows ?

any help appreciated
cheers

you can have a sliding flap, you can have electric windows but perspex will scratch easily, your best going with polycarbonate

[Driver]

tbh i just want the look of the sliding flaps but like i said its a road car so are they safe ?

also do they steam up bad ?

[Jon_nova1]

i dont know if they steam up badly, they would be legal for road use, but security might not be as good as people will know you just have plastic windows

The polycarb that my rear 3 windows are made from is 250 times stronger than glass!!!

They do steam up easier than glass, but not that badly.

i meen safety as in if i have sliding flaps on front windows will people find it easyer to brake in or do the flaps lock etc ?

it is a pointless mod on a road car tbh.

The sliders will rattle like mad and drive you crazy. They are not very secure.

And no you wont be able to make the window go up and down and when perspex/polycarb are fitted the corner window at the front is removed and it wont fasten onto your runners.

on the way home from work today driving through rotherham past whiston cross roads i was thinking just the same!!

[tom_beverley]

Thought polycarb scratches easier than perspex even though its stronger due to its softer surface?

Strength and hardness are two very different things.

[Jon_nova1]

you can always get them clear tinted on both sides?

wher eyou from again yoza i forget ?

if your going for weight loss, but still want to retain use, then get the rear 3 done in polycarb, have the front 1/4 light made in polycarb and have MANUAL windows for opening.

[Driver]

not going for lightweight road use i want them flappy things because i think they look good

but failing them ill have leccys for my road goer and get them for my track car (when i find a suitable shell)
