So, all the windows except the window in the hatch were shot out of my 87 2 door, and I can't afford what the local glass places want for replacements. And don't currently have a way to bring new windows home from the parts yard. So I was considering buying a sheet of Lexan to replace the rear side windows, and I'll worry about the door glass later. But I have a quick question on the thickness of the Lexan. Would .062" be thick enough, or should I go with the .125"? I want it to be fairly sturdy, and I'm not reusing the rubber around the windows, so I'm not worried about it fitting in that. I'm leaning towards the .125, but if thinner will work fine, I'd rather use it since it will be cheaper. But I've never used Lexan this thin before, I've only dealt with .25" and thicker, so I'm a little concerned about the strength.
Any opinions? Suggestions? I'd appreciate any help, need to get all the now broken things on the Jeep fixed asap so I can drive it again.

Though i dont reccomend it in the first place, always get the thicker lexan, much less prone to cracking.

Its not my first choice, but its cheap, and my Jeep spends more time offroad than on road. And I'm only doing the two rear side windows with it, so I guess I'll go with the .125.
I'm planning on 97+ front windows if I can find a 97-01 2 door in the parts yard, otherwise I'll just replace those with 84-96 windows, and functional vent windows. But for now I just need to replace the rear side windows, clean all the broken glass out of it, and replace what was stolen so I can drive it to work.

Go with.125

Probably wont vibrate
Good temp fix.
I as thinking of .250 lexan ones in back just to be removable
That's if I come across free, virgin 1/4 inch material.
Always looking

Lexan is not legal in place of glass for road use in my state. Your mileage may vary.

Mass. Is pretty tough with inspections.
In 33 years to going through their BS
I've never had any one who checked fixed glass on side of rig
For etchings.
As for drivers or pass. Side
Clean up all broken glass then the windows are just rolled down.lol
