I couldnt tell u exact weight, but those ****'s are heavy. I had a buddy stash one here that I had to move around a few times and i hated it. Id say an easy 100lbs off the top of my head.

On a Formula (low wing), the hatch weighs right at 38#'s w/o the gas struts, and the glass weighs the same, 38#'s. We took one apart to see for a friend that was going over to Lexan which weighed about 25#'s lighter in I believe 1/8" thickness...might have been 3/8".
