so i finally figured out what i was going to do on the door glass replacing it with polycarbonate. and it should work out great. put some aluminum stiffener plates in there and also to mount it with. pre-loaded them with more curve, so it (hopefully) stays sealed. and saved >6 pounds per door this way. even though the OEM glass weighed in at 11lb 13oz, the aluminum plates took a little but they are needed. now weighs 5lb 6oz.
yes, i ground down for the final shape against the glass, no big deal gotta make it perfecto.
and, my son is immortalized in the car
did a quick little video to show how this works.... lets hope they stay sealed at 150-160 mph
and i am betting i can still make the driver one roll up and down, it is still power and i actually use it. but in the quest for weight reduction this is something i can live without.
