I line the slot that the window slides in with felt or crushed velvet so the window comes in contact with something soft. Maybe not good if the airplane is kept outside but works well for one that is hangared. If it rubs on the window it will scratch it whether it is Plexiglas or Lexan. The windows are so cheap and easy to change that it is not a problem if they need changed every couple years.

Also, it is much more prone to scratching than Plexiglas. I have heard reports of serious scratching from running the windows up and down in their tracks. For this reason, Skyport is no longer offering Lexan side windows. The prints call for .062 Plexiglas for the sliding windows. The specs for 062 Plexi allow a tolerance that includes up to .080. .080 will hold up better then .062...
