Lexan T-top Weight?

Does anyone know how much the Lexan tops weighed compared to the glass tops? Everything I always read says they were lighter, but no actual specs.

I dont know how much, but my car came with lexan tops, and I have a glass set as well that I'm using cause they look nicer. Those glass ones are HEAVY compared to the originals, like alot!

Thanks man, sad part is i have 1 set of lexan and 3 sets of glass 8ft up on a shelve. I figured someone would just have the answer for this instead of me dragging them down and weighing them. i appreciate your extra effort and for posting the weight figures
