The Lexan came as a 4 by 8 foot sheet of XL10 Lexan from a local hardware supplier. I used the stock glass as templates and added about 0.5" on all edges to fill the windows openings as tightly as possible. After some final shaving and filing, the Lexan went in extremely snugly and was sealed with clear silicone and fastened with rivets. The sliders on the doors were also home-made but were done in a short amount of time the day before the rally. We are redoing the sliding mechanism with aluminum for the rails, handles to move the windows, and a method to latch the window closed from the inside.
