Just not sure I can shape the complex contour without fucking it up.
So I got Paul's door skin mocked up on an early door. ( Don't worry the steel skin was beat to shit) I got the early wind up pieces and channel guides without felt. ( I need some of this stuff). How do I shape the Lexan so it will stay. |

The sun works well. I saw a windshield install at a shop here in San Diego and they used a large piece of cardboard to make the template. Then they cut the lexan and smoothed the edges. They centered the windshield and used some sheetmetal screws about every three inches working outwards with two guys doing both sides together. The last curves in the corners were pulled in with masking tape and worked slowly to finish. The lexan was pretty warm and curved easily. They did mention that the holes in the lexan have to be large enough for the screws to move around since the lexan expands and contracts some.
