I put polycarbonate in my side window once. It felt like a nice material and seemed to be tough and flexible but --
If I wore my usual polarized sunglasses, I got some interesting, pretty, vision obstructing rainbows and blotch patterns as I looked through the polycarbonate window. When I used NON-polarized sunglasses, I got the usual reflections from objects inside the plane to interfere with my traffic scan and scenery viewing -- just like you get from plexiglas and regular glass. I went back to plexiglas. Has anyone else had these problems? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Bull Crap!!! Lexan is readily available in various tints.
