It is also a lot stronger, it's the stuff they make airplane windshields out of.

sounds like a plastic guy

i'm posting pics of boys in g-strings next to my car from now on.

Can you elaborate on the seal? Would it work on the metal panel too?

Please take deposits before you shell out your cash. FC owners have a tendency of jumping on the bandwagon, yet never buying when the product becomes available.

Thank's for the advice

I do plan on taking money b4 I start buildling them, But I'm not worried because the sunroofs look so good they have to sell.

If not there's always E-bay

So what's the big fukin deal about a lexan sun-roof - my fully operational home-built is going into it's 3rd Canadian winter as I write and has performed flawlessly since I put it in in 2000.
Parts cost me around $70 in total - take a look at my avatar for a pic of the installation which is a complete replacement for the tin roof along with modifications to the interior headliner and etc.

The big deal is not everyone has the time/motivation/ability to make them themself. Same reason car shops are in business... sure, most people COULD do it themself, but a lot don't have the time.

i think we'd all like to hear more from ianbell about the DIY procedure versus the lexan route here, just as a competitive alternative of sorts... so let's.
