You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. Number 1, the window thickness is in the Ercoupe manual. If you don't have one, you have no business working on coupes.
Number 2, look in your yellow pages for Lexan or plastic, or glass, find the wholesaler and buy a sheet. Have them cut you two pieces that will fit your windows. I bought a gray sheet for 80 bucks, made 2 side windows, 4 rear windows and still have enough left over to have a good game of Frisbee. Number 3, remember that the stock windows have a slight bend to them that the Lexan won't. Number 4, the a/c was certified with plexi not Lexan. Number 5 if you go in inverted with the windows up, you'll never kick them out, and Number 6 Lexan will scratch easier than plexi. Other than that, I loved 'em!
