lexan windstop replacemnet
 

I have been thinking about replacing my clear lexan windstop with a smoked plexiglass one, but after removing the windstop from the car and looking at the frame, I am having second thoughts. I don't want to ruin the frame in the process? anyone ever done this?
TIA Jim

986 or 987?

Contact windrestrictor. They make custom replacements for the 986 and can tell you how to safely separate the wind stop from frame.

There was a company a few years back which made replacements from safety glass, tinted or clear, even offered frosted Logo as an option. Apparently, there wasn't a sufficient market for them and the company's website has been down for more than a year.

Except for it's weight advantage (minimal), I like the idea of using safety glass, easier to clean w/o scratching. I'm tempted, when the economy eventually shapes up, to remove mine, trace a template, and then have a local glass co. make one from safety glass - I've discussed this with them and they say it can be done. I'll probably stay with the clear.

I've got a tinted/smoked Windrestrictor wind stop. It seriously is maybe a 5 minute install if you go real slow. Works the same as stock, just darker. No frame damage.

I really like the idea of glass. No scratching and hypothetically shouldn't rattle the way the plastic does.
