Re: 1966 Window breakage prevention

To all VAC members.

Plexiglass is not intended for exterior use. The UV from the sun will shortly
cause it to crack and craze, but it's cheap and readily available.

After considerable research, we came up with a plastic material called "ACRYLITE."
Without a metal frame, it will, when exposed to the sun for a period of  time,
take on the contour of the sides.

An improvement was developed and applied to this same material, that now can
be scrubbed with steel wool, and not be scratched. It's the same chemical
that is used on plastic eyeglass lenses.

The new name for this material is called "Acrylite AR-2," and is available in
"clear' only. It's not cheap, but it does perform very well. We have sold
over 1000 of them, without a single problem. You can also add to it's
strength by installing stainless steel moldings on the edges as Airstream did
in 1968, and are now available as well.

We have sold over 1000 of them, without a single problem.

Unfortunately, you must buy a 4 x 8 sheet, or find someone that has the
window replacements cut to size.
