Light Weight Window Glass

Nathan Stinson · 12-11-2011, 01:33 PM

Where are you guys getting your windows from? I have heard for years that you can buy aftermarket windows that are lighter than the stock ones. How much lighter are they over the stock ones? Thanks

Most all of the new glass is thinner.

I would think thin glass would be a safety consideration.
