To brace or not to brace? front Lexan. "Update"

Just took out all my glass and went to lexane. All came out good
But a little concerned about the front windshield. I opted to bolt it in and remove the rubber and molding with the kit supplied
And seems pretty solid but thinking at 140 it might push a little hard. What is everyone's
Thoughts on bracing the center? If yes you have any pics?
Thanks in advance 😉

"Update"

First run off the trailer and it rattled pretty good, was a little concerned it might come on on me but was good when I got back down to under 100. Made a little center brace from 3/4" flatstock aluminum and wrapped in J Waxler's secret Tape, screwed it into the roof and didn't even notice it after that.👍

.. in my opinion it would depend on what thickness of lexan you used

3/16" Shiloh

3/16 ... brace it !! It may not end up in your lap BUT if it flexes in its causing more drag than in its intended position.

3/16 wont need the brace
EDIT
If you use screws to screw it in you will be fine and it wont flex
much at all.. I run 1/8" on my car at 152 mph

How thick is the lexan? Here is a pic of the 2 supports on my windshield. Metal rod with clear vinyl tube sliced and slid over support rod. You can't see them very much.

Looks good, thanks for the pix!

Thanks PBody, I've heard several guys say it's not a problem.

Good point!

I also would brace it, a tire(?) piece from another car at 140mph will put the whole thing in your lap, because lexan is not likely break, and that would hurt.

3/16 is the same thickness as the original glass. You won't need a brace as if you were using 1/8th.
With all those screws planting on all sides, it will be fine. I'm about 9 miles per hour slower than you and my 3/16th doesn't budge a hair.
Maybe a pot hole in Manhattan will make it flinch though. LOL.

I've been 170 in my stratus with 1/8" lexan and no brace...

Looks good Mike!! ....but there’s been some times I still like being able to roll that window down!! 🥵

The Cuda was 3/16 from Proglass in the stock gasket with the stock trim and went 171 with no brace and no problems.
