jonD6B 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Has anybody ever actually calculated the difference in weight between the glass windows (excluding the windscreen) and 4mm polycarbonate window kits? Also how do most people weigh their cars? Would a weigh bridge be accurate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3Evo 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Well, according to my engineering data book: Polycarbonate: Density 1200kg/m^3 Glass (Soda): Density 2480kg/m^3 So they weigh about half as much. That said, no idea how much the glass in a 205 weighs in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thickness difference too though, so they may weigh less/more Edited January 16, 2006 by Rippthrough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smckeown 1 Posted January 17, 2006 yes you will save shed loads of you also lose the winding mechanisms, it's all in the post listed by jon. Cybernck also paraphrased my main weight loss table in a more recently post also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
