From: "Pat Reilly" This is 4 months late, I just found the forum. A fellow out of MI has heat formed a windshield out of plexi on his Cougar. It is one piece with a 90 degree bend to form each the 2 sides. It eliminates the metal corners on the windshield. Sweet looking. I'm not sure but it looked like 3/16". I will build one for my rebuild project this winter. I don't think you can heat form lexan very easily, so I'll have go with plexi.
