[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 80142, member: 437"] I never thought about it but a material like plexiglass is pretty brittle... even moreso in cold temps. Some plastics are a lot tougher than others, though. Regardless of compound, you will have problems with cracking/busting around your attachment locations without some sort of compression limiter. Even with those, it may still bust because of the load and flex. (I design plastic gizmos for the auto industry for a living :lol: ) [/QUOTE]
