Default Window Glass

In Super Stock, can other window/windshield materials be used rather than the O.E. glass? For example Lexan.

Thank you.

Can be aftermarket but must be glass. The only exception may be the 68 Hemi Darts and Cudas that came with special thin Corning glass which is very rare to find.

The aftermarket Windshields often are a bit lighter.

If you look at the 2021 rule book amendments, you will see that the use of Polycarbonate is legal in FSS class.

FSS = Factory Stock Showdown

I believe that starting on 2016. the Cobra Jets have Optic Armor Polycarbonate in lieu of the OEM glass.

I believe one or two of the sport compact classes in S/S allow Lexan.
