Bull****! Lexan crazes over time. If your doing a hatch use armored
glass.

Do you want Bizwanger glasses number or not?

Joe

Thanks Joe. I don't need the number right now but might later. How did
you know my nose was running?
BTW the last time I looked, Roswell, Georgia wasn't close to the UK.

Well lens implies an item that provide a focus. I work with optical
engineers all the time and when you imply Lens for a window I assumed
you were a ******.

Dont listen to Mooron. I spent over 2000 bucks on Lexan for my side
windows and after 8 years they are not living up to my expecations of
clarity. If you have a small "lens" then go with Armored glass not
Lexan. Lexan may be as tough but in the long run Glass is superior. How
large is your "lens"?

Joe

They are Lewmar 60's the "glass" (the instructions called them lens) is
about 22x22.

Are they curved?

If not go with armored glass. If they have a curve then Lexan may be
the best bet. But expect to either polish them ever 10 years or live
with a not so clear view.

I have a forward hatch with armored glass about 22" round and it is as
clear as the day it was installed and it is 1976 vintage.

Joe
They are flat. Thanks for all of the information. That
surely give me more options.
Thanks again and good luck with the vipers

No if's butts or doubts about it.

The viper in my parking space is gone now, Wasen't a problem, the
drivers window was down and lower than the average urinal.

Joe

Have you considered getting the lens or upper frame from Lewmar? If
you can find a friendly Lewmar dealer (many riggers can special order)
you might get a reasonable price. I've given up trying to second
guess spares prices - sometimes key parts are dirt cheap, other times
they're more then the full item.

Here's a typical parts catalog:

Glass is a heck of a lot heavier than Lexan...which makes a difference for
anyone that has a performance boat...I'd stick with Lexan...

If you were really worried about performance of your French Failure,
you would go on a diet and lose about thirty pounds. Mr. Sails would
appreciate THAT a lot more than a hatch that weighed two pounds less.
