I have the same heat gun, just bought it to replace another one. I use it to shape plexiglas. I've msde waterfalls and under gravel filters gor fish tanks, domed lenses for shop lights, a lighted console for my truck.

That's still not wide enough to worry about even heat across the bend. It might take a length of copper tube with that heat fed in.

I have a piece that has a bend I want to unbend it to make it straight. Is that possible?

Given HOW the plastic bends (stretching one side and compressing the other), likely not with a nice smooth outcome.

It would help if you added subtitles to your video as the hot air gun drowns out your voice.

Just search youtube. The key is to heat the glass evenly at the same time, otherwise it will likely crack. Also the temperature is much higher so you need professional gear.

You can use it for a windshield for sure as long as you have a way to mount it down

They really aren’t designed to get this hot. That isn’t an expensive heat gun (Harbor Freight) but note how much thicker it is then a regular hair dryer. Also, it get VERY hot after a bit.

My heat gun has attchments that can narrow the heat gun area to a more concentrated region, may help with tighter bends if no mould is available?

Janis Rough - it might be difficult unless you have the glass as a pattern. I would imagine you could bend a sheet of plexiglass the same width as the window directly on the window and then trace the borders. I just don't know if it would adhere to the glass at all. I suspect not, but it would be a disaster if it did.
