Another consideration would be legality, As far as I know, the only type of windshields allowed are laminate glass; although, lexan will not shatter. For demonstration purposes to my students, I have hit 3/8 inch Lexan will a hammer and center punch. It dents but does not shatter. Another issue might be what happens to clear Lexan after long term UV exposure. Does it yellow?

Right now I am most interested in first hand experience with a coated version of the replacement non-glass windscreen alternatives.
I am hoping CJ428CJ, or anyone else who has used one, is still reading this thread and has enough time on his replacement windshield to be able to add some real world experience to the behavior of the protected versions of the polycarbonate and/or lexan alternatives.
