Bob Use Lexan. It bends quite a bit before breaking. Of course if you can find a set of "Baker" side curtains, the frames come apart. Baker made repro side curtains in the 60s. I bought out all his l

You should be able to slide the windows to the center of the frame then by slightly bending them in the middle remove them from or install them in the frame. If the windows you were taking out were

Thanks for the help! My side curtains did have the original 35 year old plexiglas in them, and I suspect that their brittleness did contribute to their breaking when I tried to take them out. I think

After the new curtains are cut to fit, you can get a great finished look to the edges by lightly sanding them smooth, then carefully running a propane torch across the edge. This will restore the tra

Yes, "fire polishing" does work on Acrylic but is next to impossiable to do with Polycarbonate. I have found that a small diameter flame is better than a larger diameter flame. You do have to be carf

Crash The plexi is a siple replacement. Buy it just about anywhere, cut it to fit with a jig saw and pop it in the track. The whole job takes about an hour and should cost about $10. A little more if
