I used counter sunk allen bolts and beveled the holes in the lexan and used nyloc nuts to be able to pull the front and rear windows up against a foam seal with very little tension or distortion of the lexan. this kept mine from cracking. Same for the side windows, for convenience.

Thanks guys! I like the countersunk bolt idea, but I'm afraid there are some area I can't get to the backside to put nuts on. I have some nice stainless screws with large round heads that just might do the trick. It will look a lot nicer than the hex head sheet metal screws that were in there.

Duck tape and elmers glue! I have always used the counter sunk screws. And a very big yes to leaving them a little loose as to not crack the lexan.
Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!
