I agree 3/16 probably would be the max thickness.

I just remembered these:

Polycarbonate is pretty stiff.....I think 3/16 is about as thick as you could go using off the shelf flat sheet.
Thicker can be heated and allowed to "slump" over a shape but has to be dryed in an oven form quite a long time or you get steam
bubble foaming.

Best way would be to put your oven up on the roof, heat previously dried flat sheet then whip it out and lay it it over the part of
the roof you want the sunroof in....
Sounds like Fun! 8)
