Well, it is pretty clear that for what we do, Lexan is the material 
of choice for windows/canopies. Easy to bend, drill, cut, clean (I 
use Plexus plastic cleaner), more shatter resistant than Plexiglas 
but needs more UV protection. What tricks are there for that? Having 
turned the protected side of the sheet towards the sun per 
directions, I still replace the canopy every 4-5 years due to 
crazing. Am I doing something wrong or is replacing it just something 
I have to do every so often?
