Re: Lexan vs Glass ttops weight?

I just weighed a couple for you. The lexan one was 9.4lbs. and the glass one was 14.2lbs. Keep in mind that these weight are for replacement panels and not fully assembled tops, but the difference is still almost 5 pounds each.

10lbs off the top of the car would be good for corners
