I very seldom have my windows up to notice. I put Lexan in a coupe over 10
years ago. I ran into the current owner last year and the windows looked
so
good I asked if they had just replaced them. No, they are the same windows
I
put in.

Kevin,

Problems I had with Lexan:
1.  More easily scratched than Plexiglas
2.  To minimize or eliminate reflections from the inside of the windows,
I like to wear Polaroid sunglasses.  The polycarbonate makes interesting
rainbows and patterns in the view when viewed through Polaroids.  I had
to change to regular sunglasses and put up with the reflections and
lowered quality of view out the windows.

Advantages of Lexan:
1.  Isn't brittle like Plexiglas.

I changed back to Plexiglas.
