it seems like most people prefer the percy's. They require trimming to fit. I noticed the harwood windsheild and windows can be purchased as an exact fit, no trimming required. I like the sound of that. I am capable of trimming but I would rather save the time for other things. Those harwood windows of course come at a higer cost...
am I missing anything as far as trimming goes? do the cut to fit pieces not fit?

they are left oversize for the customer to fit as needed. it also adds cost when someone else trims to fit. What percy's has over the others is the coatings on them that prevent scratches.

An additional question about fitting the lexan flush, once it is shimmed up what do you use to fill the gap between the window and the body? Can some the that weatherstripping stuff that OEM uses be cut to fit?
Also is it possible to have the lexan tinted like the original green?
I just saw this post, It is not a lexan window, but is shows how windows can be fit flush. Also how it is trimmed with weatherstripping. Now I can appreciate the difference between trim to fit and OEM fit. (pics are not mine, Re posted from a different thread)
Where did you purchase the percy's lexan?I was under the impression that the Harwood windows were also coated,but I may be wrong as I looked at quite a few sites and found more than one that was coated.I still haven't found the link.I also think I saw a kit in Summit or Jegs.Can.t remember if one or the other was coated.Any info would be appreciated.
I have my glasses coated with a "scratch resistant" coating, but I inevitably manage to scratch them at some point, and I am forever scratching my watch crystals, I cannot imagine a plastic windshield and I ever getting along.

I know that lexan for the street seems to be a little overboard for some ,but then I also have started to setup a jig to channel the body down over the subframe and the rest of the tube frame as well.I as well the person started this thread may want to lose as much weight up high as we can to lower the C/G.I worked as a aircraft A&P mechanic for quite a few years and am familiar with the problems Lexan presents as well as the advantages it provides as well.I also can scratch just about I own but some of the coatings that are avaailable now are quite capable of holding up for fairly long period of time.They also don't shatter upon impact with debris at higher speeds.I would still like to source a retailer for the Percy's windows.Any one got a link or source they are willing to share?Appreciate it.
