Glass replacement...
Week before last we busted out the rear quarter glass of the rover. Nevermind how... you would not believe me if I told ya.
Anyways... is the replacement hard. Looks pretty simple after reading the shop manual but many things look easy on paper. Has any one replaced any glass in there rover?
Also, I was thinking, I have a location in Fort Worth that sells any shape or size of Lexan you would ever wont. My crazy idea was to replace the drive side with 1/4 inch (tappered to 1/8") Clear Lexan. 250 times stronger than glass... shatter proof... damn near bullet proof. No yellowing. Scratch resistant etc.
For a 24x36 cut of this stuff it is around $30.00. I can always put some tinting on it before I install it to match.
What do you think? Obviously cheaper... seems like a good idea. I would give up the rear defrost on the side glass behind the drivers side (like I use defrosters that much in Texas).
