Default Lexan Molding

Anyone know where I can get Lexan Molded?

I want to replace the glass window in a hardtop w/ a lexan one.

Its for weight savings. I don't need to hear from the people who don't understand why I am doing it For you guys I show you this.

just make a template using poster board of the rear glass then go to home depot (they sell lexan there) and pick up a sheet or two. For molding, just take a heat gun to it

If you have a template you can go to TAP plastics to have it cut out. They might be able to help you with the molding too.
