actually its not called lexan heh. Its way denser then lexan heh. Lexan is similar to plexi glass, cept a bit denser. I will just have to do some serious google work to find it all again. BTW anyone have any rail sites?

yeh thats the one haha. I knew it had an h in it haha. And yes the metal edges are really what makes the boxxes slidable by skis, it prevents our edges from catching on the plastics edge.
