How to secure polycarbonate (Lexan) to enclosure door

For soundproofing, it’s not thickness that matters but mass. Polycarbonate is significantly more dense than MDF so you can get away with it being a bit thinner. For my Nomad, I have 10mm thick MDF walls plus 6mm thick polycarbonate windows.

That’s some serious plastic. I also have 12mm of polycarbonate but for soundproofing I’ve got two 6mm sheets with an airgap between them.

As for the original question, I second @WillAdams’ suggestion. For Aluminium profiles, there’s this stuff:

It slides into the slot and holds your glass/polycarbonate for you. I think it’s a soft rubber so shouldn’t transmit too much of the sound.
