    i think it is safe to say there is no way that clio glass is 2mm. its at least 3mm but im pretty sure its 4mm, the same thickness as the polycarbonate windows i replaced it with.

    polycarbs weigh half the weight of glass, plus if fixed means a huge saving of all the electric window regulators and window tracking etc.

    yeah polycarb does scratch easy, but if your careful its not too bad. glass polish works well to remove the light scratches anyway.
