Lexan is not legal to use for a windshield.......It has to be DOT approved.

Usually, you ask that question before you chop it! A good local glass shop is probably your best bet, because you'll be taking it back and forth to get your glass fitted for the car. If the glass is broken while cutting to fit the windshield the onus usually rests with the glass shop doing the cutting. If you bring in your own and the glass breaks, the problem is yours. Ford and Merc's usually had the same glass for that year.

When chopping a car, it is customary to fit the metal to the glass. Glass doesn't adapt well to off size holes. CRAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!
