There is around 560in2 of window in the doors or 3.89ft2 . I think this is the thing that adds so much weight as I'm not omitting the door handles.

Plexiglas® - Weights Per Square Foot
Thickness (inches) Weight of Plexiglas® Sheet (per sq. ft.)
0.062" 0.38 lbs.
0.080" 0.49 lbs.
0.093" 0.56 lbs.
0.118" 0.73 lbs.
0.177" 1.09 lbs.
0.236" 1.46 lbs.
0.354" 2.16 lbs.
0.472" 2.88 lbs.
0.705" 4.32 lbs.
0.940" 5.76 lbs.


Currently there is 3/16 plexi in the doors which is about 1.09 lbs per sq ft or 4.24lbs per side. If I go to .093 plexi then wrap with aluminum edges, then in theory I can get down to ditch nearly half the weight.
