I have some poly rear M/Vixen screens made by GE themselves in Holland. They draped formed the screens in green tinted poly but I recall them saying they were Margard coated afterwards, as they felt the pre Margard coated sheet wouldn't survive the forming. Whether they still think the same I've no idea. Mine were made in 2006.

Steve,

Do you have weights for any/all of these? You know, for those of us who are a little on the weight conscious side.

Best,
B.

what is the "best"

I mean easy to work with and "strong"

this one? [quoet=]Magard coated ( harder than glass)
[/quote]

you also see a lot race cars having the rear windows "locked" with 2 big bars over them or 2 small on top and 2 small under...

is there not another way to prevent the rear window from blowing out? say with a classic TVR and a big V8 driving top-speed on the German highway ;-)

can you also fit them with strong seal? or don't you recommend that?
you also see some having holes in them to let cabin pressure escape...but then you have to beware of water coming in when washing the car.

what is a good solution for those cars?

also rene ,

there appears to be a bonded rear screeen on the blue black tvr with the flared rear arches.

presumably they have increased the overlap by building up the shell and they used windscreen fitting glue/sealant to hold the glass in ?

i like that look a lot,and maybe it would prove more blow out resistant ?

regards
robert

I am sure that Steve can also supply an oversized rear screen in either of the 3 configurations for bonding / mechanical fixing (removable) if required as well smile
