Lexan glass windshield???
My brother just recieved a Percy's Lexan glass windshield for his 69 SS Camaro. It is oversized 1" and I was wondering what to trim it with? Whats the right tool to use? What to look out for?
It's 1/8" so we will need something to fill the void. What gasket would we use.
Fastener type? Screw size? Countersink the screw holes? Sorry for all the questions but the directions said to trim to fit. lol thats all.
Thanks a million in advanced.

Tom I use a electric jig saw with a 32 teeth per inch blade. I install them a couple different ways. The first way is with 10-32 SSbolts and I countersink them with a tool I bought from Jerry Bickel. The only problem is the lexan gets thin around the bolt head. I also have some killer epoxy that we now glue the window in and they have lived thru 200mph passes.. Call me tomorrow and I will give you the part number on the epoxy.
