Hi Susan
It is a race car; Group 3 SVRA. I will check on the lexan/rainex
compatibility
Thank you
Bill

Hi Bill!

If this will be a street car and you decide on a glass windshield, I
would say keep the wipers. There are situations where you are driving
slowly in light rain, it may mist heavily or cars in front of you may
throw up dirty water from the road where Rain-X will not work. You will
be very happy for wipers, then.

I do not know how Rain-X interacts with Lexan. It is made for glass, and
I don't think it would work so well (it is designed to fill the "pores"
in the glass with small molecules).

Just my 47.7 cents (adjusted for inflation).

Keep Triumphing,
Susan     :)

I'm so busy... I don't know if I found a rope, or lost my horse.
