To save weight, we decided to replace our 14-pound glass windshield with a 7-pound polycarbonate piece from Shields Windshields.
Now to install it.
[Replacing a Glass Windshield With Plastic]
An early Mustang secures its windshield with a rubber seal, not an adhesive bond. Our car had a nearly new rubber seal, so we reused it.
The installation procedure is tedious …
Is there an anti scratch treatment they put on polycarbonate windows ?
it just seems like it would scratch wiping off dirt etc and with wiper blades....
In reply to californiamilleghia :
Tear offs for windshields are available. Also a thin piece of protective plastic can be laminated on, that was my favoured face shield for hockey full or 3/4 in lexan with an anti fog anti scratch laminate.
Living in the desert I've always given the poly windshields a pass.
Out of curiosity; besides the 7lbs for the front how much weight savings have you manged with the side and rear windows?

Yes, I discussed it in some detail when I did a Shields install in the 350z:
