Polycarb = much weight saved?

[kevo66]

As above, say the rear quarters and back screen??

I have them all round, quite a lot of saving IMO, especially the rear screen.

Might be different on yours, newer car/glass type, plus you have to bond them in? luckily mine just pop into the standard seals

on the mk2 they are mich matched
front sides, plastic lighter
back sides, glass lighter
rear window, plastic is loads lighter

suppose it depends on the thickness of the polycarb too

barron reccons all his are lighter, but tbh i prefer funtionality of glass front windows tbh

 

[kevo66]

4mm for thickness!!

I guess the bonding in will be a PITA??

Ott for a road car imo.

Ours are only 3 mm think so are alot lighter than the glass.

but they are noisey and have alot of flex in them at high speed.

The rear one will save alot off weight but will scatch easy (our does) ours is from plasticforpreformance (or what ever its called)

We only bought the rear one from there, our doors and rear quater ones were made for us by a "friend of a friend" as such.

Hence why ours are 3mm and not 4mm, we also have a coating on to help reduce scratches.

if you get fronts, they will scratch in no time being wound up and down, but then if you have sliders they are noisy and some designs like to leak lol

lucky our car isnt really on the road a great deal, but the sliders would annoy the hell out of me.

And to make it worse on hot days you cook in our car no way of keeping cool

Personally if you are planning on doing it to you 197 kev, follow the R26Rs lead,

id do the 3 rear ones but not the fronts.
