Custom lexan windows??

I saw some lexan windows done here. Fitment could be better since the OEM window is curved and the lexan was forced which comes flat. Do you think this idea

Default Custom lexan windows??

I saw some lexan windows done here. Fitment could be better since the OEM window is curved and the lexan was forced which comes flat. Do you think this idea would work??

Remove windows and lay flat on a table. Lay the lexan sheet over the OEM windows and pop in a walk in powder coat oven. The heat at xxx temp for xxx time could let the lexan get soft and gravity could pull the lexan around the curves of the window. Even if its not perfect the fitment should be ten times better.

Just not sure if lexan melts. Not sure if melting changes the properties of the lexan and makes it weaker. I know on myth busters they use that suction mold thing all the time to make plastic parts for heads and stuff.

What do you think?
