[QUOTE="Joc, post: 443988"] I traded for a jeep a few weeks back and the previous owner had just done an overhaul/rebuild after a roll. The first thing I noticed was he had welded some 1/2" square tube in the front of cage for Im guessing Lexan to be screwed to. Well we all know lexan just dont stand the test of time as far as scratches and hazing. Whats that leave? safety glass. Its what your car windshield is made of in case your wondering. Most side windows are tempered and would not be cost effective nor safe in this application. My line of work involves cutting laminated safety glass in all shapes/sizes for boats all over the US and beyond. I made a few templates of the holes across front of cage and cut the glass. The method of putting the glass in is basically 2 sided tape and thats about all Im gonna say to keep from letting out a work secret. I did have some clamps on it for a period of time to help cure the process. The last thing I did was apply some sealant around the edges. Another way to install them is by using window urethane and I didnt want that big a mess if I need to replace one. Pics: only one I got uploaded of what it looks like [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/4AA3FD8D-AE4A-4789-96B0-2F1829C65C6E-804-000002728879314C_zpsc61deed4.jpg[/IMG] Gray laminated glass [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/A00EFBED-45E2-4179-9D07-B964E56C6DDC-244-000000DBAF38CCFA_zpsb9559156.jpg[/IMG] Install process [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/2AAE5A34-47E2-46E6-8BD9-080B51FF4112-244-000000DBCCB84066_zps0d8540f4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/291B309B-B423-4992-868A-1EF8E875F5F4-244-000000DBD65EB3DC_zps25f93d04.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/EF8F0223-8446-47C5-ADC0-1944949910D8-244-000000DBF233859D_zps190fb694.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv136/yellotj/57362AAB-C714-44E9-8804-4021FDA70C38-244-000000DC0424F13E_zps0b36add1.jpg[/IMG] Time will tell if this was worth the time. As long as I can avoid a roll over I see it lasting quite a while and can wipe it off w/o all the scratching. one things for sure, I wont freeze this winter from wind chill :****: [/QUOTE]
