They scratch easy, as in whenever you try to clean them.
Even at their best they are much cloudier than real glass.
If you use them for the side windows, you will need to make custom window raisers to get them to go up and down.
The rear Lexan is too thin for the gasket so the fit is poor, and aerodynamics are not as good I suspect. I would like a flush mount rear screen.
They are flexy and bulge with wind pressure.
I was going to have some Lexan side windows but I would have to fab up some window raisers for them in my fiberglass doors and then I do not know how well they fit in the frames meant for glass. I left the paper on during the project and it took longer than expected. The paper glue bonded to the Lexan and was not able to be taken off so they went to the scrap pile.
I am running Lexan for the rear quarter, rear, and front quarter windows. No side windows and a glass windscreen. I would not want to use Lexan for the front screen for the poor visibility. I would like some side windows sometimes, though.
For a track car, they are a good way to take off weight up high.
For someone looking for weight reduction on a street car, no. Swap out the heavy seats, bumpers, AC, radio, battery, rear seats, etc.
Driver weight is the best place to loose it.
