    'Thin' Windscreens

    We have been looking at clear, laminated windscreens for 911s and have learnt the following:

    A typical standard screen is made from 2 x 2.5mm thick sheets of glass.

    The minimum 'road legal' thickness is 2 x 2.1 mm thick sheets - 12.5% lighter than typical

    The minimum thickness that can be made for race cars is 2 x 1.8mm which is 25% lighter that typical

    I am thinking about having a few 'light screens' made for race cars.

    As deficient as our defrosters are I don't know why the heated windshield was not standard. I had one in my 81 Turbo and loved it. How hard are they to retrofit?
