Is this product recommended for plastic windows, in the new Canvas we just put on our yacht?

Yes, it's perfect for that application. I use it on the plastic window on my convertible BMW. Works like a champ. However, Plexus has gotten so expensive I've stopped buying it.Haven't found anything I like as much but there are a couple that are pretty good. And considering the price is three time less than Plexus it's an easy decision not to buy Plexus.

Absolutely, hose off your plastic/ison glass with water. DO NOT BRUSH OR RUB! Wipe water off with soft towel, lightly spray Plexus on surface and wipe thoroughly with VERY soft cloth till all streaks are gone. Some canvas windows, maintained properly has lasted out here on the California Delta a good 10 years or more

The label states " All types of clear and colored plastic. Perspex, Lucite, Plexiglass, Fiberglass, ABS, Mylar(window tints) Lexan, Acrylite, and all other acrylics, including painted surfaces.. My answer is absolutely yes it is recommended in your situation.. I use it on all different surfaces. Its awesom on bugs and insects splattered on my bikes shields.. Even the fiberglass saddlebags, front batwing fairing.. The metal parts like the gas tank and such also.. Ive had many different bikes with different manufacturers of different shields using Lexan,,etc ABS, etc.. This Plexus is expensive but to me it far out performs anything else I have tried and I have tried a bunch.. The can does warn clearly to NOT use paper towels.. I use the microfiber towels and have no problems. I finally quit looking and have been using Plexus for over 5 years now and it even will remove road film and grease, tar is a tough one but it tries.

No idea, but considering it's used for plastic, gotta imagine it's ok. Try a small corner at least.

I honestly don't know in regards to flexible plastic windows but I use it on my motor scooter plastic windshield. It is the very best product for that application although it is expensive. If you are concerned get their number from the internet and ask them directly. Don't trust the dealers!

I never tried it on convertible windows as you described...However, I will say that it is the only cleaner/polish I have used that didn't scratch any type of plastic/clear window type material.Some of the plexi-type glasses require a special type of cleaner. However, I do not believe this one would cause any trouble for you.

Mine is placed on a vinyl window and it works great. I have not had any problems with it coming off.

Yes, Safe for tinted windows. Doesn't mention any ammonia in product. Contains Water, hydrocarbon blend.Not recommended for surfaces that could be damaged by water or solvents. I've used it for a couple of months now and wouldn't go back to any of my regular glass cleaners.

I am not sure about using on car window. There are small holes to allow some light through, but there is a slight distortion looking through it. May work well on a sun roof. I get little to no bubbles by using a spray bottle with water and a credit card to smooth it out. I use clear nail polish in the corners to hold in place, I have had three skylights covered going on 6 years now and only one had to be replaced due to a major storm. I have reused two others on sliding doors for the past 4 years and have not had any problems with the reapply.

Yes it's ammonia free and safe for tinted windows. But I found this product to be junk! My windows looked worse after using this stuff than before. I used this stuff per the directions and no matter how I used it the windows were left with streaks. I gave it the benefit of the doubt the first couple of times but then ultimately pitched it in the trash and looked for something else.

probably not, epoxy like glue probably wont hold when canvas flaps, Try gorilla tape

Yikes, no! This is for vinyl (which is basically plastic). The european cars almost always have canvas cloth tops. I wouldn't even think about putting this on my old BMW top let alone a Bentley...

Acid etching would be far better for putting VINs on windows. They sell kits with the chemicals and a way to make stencils.

It did not work well on a non-tinted window. We would not purchase this item if we knew what we know now; or recommend it to anyone....

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

The paint is designed to come off as creatures such as barnacles try to get attached to the bottom of boats. As that occurs, little bits of it will peal away to prevent them from sticking. Do not recommended for a window

I highly recommend the screws as the glue from the Veclro tape (included) gets soft and loses it sticky property in the hot sun. I also rent but will fill the holes with sparkle when I move out. Any type of adhesive will probably have the same effect if placed in a sunny window, otherwise the Velcro tape will work in a shady, cool window.

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements. Craig

Of course! I just wouldn't put it on any type of glass that emits heat....like the bioethonol fireplaces in glass etc. And also on Windows that are exposed to a lot of sun.........the plastic sticker may crack with the various types of Thermal excursions cold, hot, humid etc.

It will not hurt it but it is a waste of money. Use Plexus on acrylic windows, like aircraft or acrylic painted surfaces. Something with a high gloss finish to make it shine and easier to remove foreign objects, like bugs.

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!
