Doesn't get used much full stop haha. I'll just keep using it with the plastic windows. I think this copper had some time to kill before the end of the shift as I was pulled just down the road from the compound. I've been pulled before and never had any issues with the windows. I just hate having anything that is a cause for them to pull me, nevermind! | |

Didn't get a rec notice, the copper was dead nice tbh. He took my name n number and did a bit of digging n spoke to his skipper when he got back to the base cos he was unsure. Then gave me a ring to let me know that if I intend to use the car on the public highway, I'll need to fit glass. | |

yeah im sure there must be some curvature in the std window though? Iv orered mine for the corsa with molded rear quatrers and the black band round the outside of the window so should look like O.E | |

They aren't E marked so they aren't legal.... At a guess. | |

Don't know the thickness off the top of my head, but they use the standard rubbers, so must be approx the same thickness as the glass. | |

I thought they where, rallycars use them and they have to be road legal | |

Got pulled in my nova on Sunday as my rear window was wobbling. After some debate and a few phone calls the copper informed me that my Polycarbonate windows are not road legal :boggle: |
