Hello /diy/, I have an idea for a sliding polycarbonate window

>>927299
anything thin enough to bend even at a large radius wouldn't make much of a window.
does it need to act like a window on the bend?
what about a round track and sectional window?
like a sectional garage door turned on its side?

THis guy has a good idea.

Like a wooden rolltop desk, but with segments of of plexi and tape.

I'd rather not have sections of it. The application is a rear window on a soft top jeep wrangler, to replace the vinyl + zipper design with something more rigid that will slide up underneath the roof. It doesn't have to be thick, but it cant be just a film of plastic either.

I would use Mylar for something like that. 0,4mm is quite flexible, but i don't know if it makes a good window for a jeep.

>>927299
yeah, and it's not just >>927351, it also needs to bend back straight. if you don't want sections, the only thing I can suggest is make it ridgid, so either have it slide UP instead of along the track, Or have a hinged swing out.
Or I guess have some space in the back, so you have a constant curve to the window and it slides into the back area? Like curved shower doors do? yeah, terrible idea, nvm.

basically, anything firm enough to not basically be this, >>927379 wouldn't do >>927299.
