Lexan window source

Sharky · 05-19-2004

I recently bought an Opel GT drag race car with a full chassis, fiberglass body panels and Lexan windows. The Lexan has some cracks and is scratched in some places. Does anybody know where I can buy Lexan glass replacements? I know that the side windows and rear glass are flat. But does anyone know if the front windshield can be fabricated from flat Lexan panels?

Any help will be gladly appreciated.

There's a place by me that does various sheet plastics from Plexiglass to Lexan.
Cadillac Plastic
9025 Lenexa Drive, Shawnee Mission, KS 66215
(913) 888-5950

I don't know if they ship or what they can do to fabricate a front windshield for you.

Some of the other areas, such as Southern California might be a better place to try.

Good luck.

I don't know if anyone out there races a Ascona Sedan, but, in keeping with this thread of lexan glass for Opels, here's an auction on the German Ebay for a complete set of lexan glass for an Ascona Sedan.

Travis had one made up for his Auto-X GT. There is a thread with contacts in it. Try the search feature.

I see your not in the US, but I've been working on a project and am using plexiglas. I picked it up from Home Depot, and I saw they also had sheets of Lexan for a decent price. If you have a home depot or store like that around you, check it out.

I believe the largest size they had in stock was 4'x6', but could order pieces up to 8'x8' and thickness ranging from 1/16" to 1".

You will have to get the curved pieces formed, but at least you will save a bunch on shipping.

HTH, Jon

Whoops, I also didn't see the date LOL. Oh well, the information is there for future reference.
