steer clear of lexan for auto applications it can shatter and with sharp edges. look into Makrolon , it is shatter resistant, and has UV protection built into it ,and is scratch resistant, and comes in clear or a tinted version .
have you ever tried to lay your cut out lexan on top of the old glass and heat gun from under side starting in the center and working out to the end then go to the other side, do not try to put the heat gun on top of lexan. this will make your lexan window strong
They sell that trim for the edge of your door at walmart in the automotive section, it would be perfect around the edge of lexan windows to look just that much more professional
The back window looks awsome. I only hope that the aero drag around the car when racing, doesn't rip the sides loose of the back window. It looks like it still can catch some wind. Not bitching just curious.
Dude hearing you say 2nd surface made my day....I'm a print nerd by trade so that was like hearing native tongue. I'm actually trying to get my job to start selling Lexan window kits because we work with Lexan /Polycarbonate all the time. Just need to get enough interest in it and enough models to make it worthwhile.
Have you thought about tinting the whole window instead of paint. Would be really easy since it would be flat also it would look really good on the rides.
Can you not heat up the glass with a heat gun so that it forms the shape of the window? I don't see why everyone uses lexan and then rivets, just looks bad compared to just shaping the window and then gluing / siliconing the window on.
Goof job maaan!!! The name of the black trim around the glass is called
“ FRICK “. Believe it or not 🤣
That's the best lexan job ever seen in my life
Where are you getting the lexan and how thick is your lexan

It comes in chrome and black
Much respect on that bracket G! You are definitely a awesome fabricator my guy.
You can use a caliper the measuring tool can tape a blade to it the same way
If I see you paint another object other than Braven’s car I’m going go nuts.
Nice job, thats a neat window.
Awesome work but can you use a heat gun and just put it against old glass to get shape or no?
You are good and I enjoyed your video even with those cars I don't like. My hats off to ya.
If you get some heavy duty paper clips you can re bend it to your width with a pencil in it to get the black trim outline.
I did learn something. Video flowed great. Subscribed/liked.
That was fire brother, you need a big ass shop
That rear hatch window came out dope af bro!!!
My guy that shit came out so DAMN clean!!!
Bumper chop coming up ! Eg looking tough
That was the best video explaining how to I ever saw

Yo DB buddy how about a weather stripping plexiglass from chattering down when he is driving/ racing 🤔👍😃
Maybe put vac hose around the border to act like a lip and as a seal kinda it will protect the lexan edge and keep it quiet too
By far the best DIY video on this ever!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 even without rubber trim molding on the lexan
The quality went back up did y’all get that new camera
Nice been waiting for the rear window vid !👍
That’s dope asf man , junior gonna be happy.
That shit was fire man you did real good on that especially that bracket
🤔What are those click clack fasteners on the corners ... Definitely thinking about trying this on 77 Chrysler, window is discontinued...
What is the weight difference between the glass and lexan?
You are amazing with your build God bless you
Your work ethic is motivating! Window came out perfect
That came out clean tell jr to take care of the surface rust in the trunk
Awesome! Does rain get in?
Bro are you in Phoenix AZ? wow, you are a beast!

Man that rear window came out so nice. Gotta pick me up one of the new t's but where my stickers at lol?
Here for the DBFAM
this came out great looks good specially with the black strip around the window, good idea for the push poppers to hold the corner/bottom of it
That’s awesome! Where can I get those push button tabs?
Are you able to do the front windshield too?
Looks good bro! Try some heat to get your fold it’ll work but don’t get too close with the heat
Hell yeah need to buy the mega bundle
That window came out so god damn clean..still waiting on my shirt homie
Who makes those pin and push button latches you used?
Came out clean

My only question is does it let in water when it rain
Awesome job
I wish i had the patience to make brackets like that...
You are in Arizona, wanna do a rear lexan window for a hot rod
i thought about doing this to my ek hatch, seeing how easy it was, im def doing it now!
Dope work bro
That turned out super good!
you killed it bro!! Great work on this

Damn a DIY throwback vibe to this video🔥🔥🔥 The overall Lexan window turned out great!!!
Dam that's sick Good job bro!!
U should sell Replicas of that
That came out real clean, great job bro. Keep up the vids.
Nice job.
Damn that little Bracket came out clean af the first time end result is still good though
Can I tint my windows after I do this?
Great work bro, what thickness is the lexan you use for the windows? Keep the great spirit!
Where can I find those latches?
Are you gonna put foam around the edge of the window to seal it up?
Holy shit bro , this is amazing.
Yo fam that came out hella clean 💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope video!!!
You think laying the lexan on top of the Oe window and maybe putting it near heaters will shape the lexan down to the window shape?
Absolutely!
That look clean af 👌🏼👌🏼
Damn good work bro
Clean af!
I don't get it. Why are you replacing the glass with these? Weight reduction? Also how are they at blocking road noise?
Awesome bro! Came out great
💯💯💯💯🔥🔥 bro u killed that
you the man bro
Would you be able to lock it? I think after some time it might form to the body or even use a heat gun to shape it :)
Ive heard those button quick release let go at high speeds, seems like itll catch air and pop off? Not bashing just wondering before I try on mine
What clips did you use
that turned out amazing! what was the thickness you used? ...3, 4 or 5mm?
Can you not heat up the glass with a heat gun so that it forms the shape of the window?
I don't see why everyone uses lexan and then rivets, just looks bad compared to just shaping the window and then gluing / siliconing the window on.
Did that!! Good shit
over engineered garage 😂😂 loved the video
Clean af 👌🏼👌🏼
When you going to fulfill customer orders? You keep talking about purchasing your shirts but you don’t know how to complete the order?
That’s what you get for spending money to represent an obnoxious lookin dude putting the camera all up in his face 😂

Killer work man. Loving it.
#DBFam
