That's why I have always used Lexan or Polycarbonate. Plus it's stronger
for a bird strike. I just replaced the windshield and had no cracks or
breaks.

I love my UPS guy...well, almost...but when it came time to get a
windshield for my IV, I bought it from LP while at Sun 'n' Fun in '05
but drove to Pennsylvania to pick it up on the way home to Michigan.
The way they packaged that thing and handled it gave me a primer for
how I later handled it...with extreme care!

I just retired from UPS. When I made my side door
glass it took me 5 trys to have 2 that did not crack.
Must be something in the UPS training....

The way they finally got it there without breaking it was to fill the bottom of the box with expanding foam and then stuck the windshield in it while it was still in the liquid form. The rest of the box was filled with paper. I think my serial number is 1378.
See what's free at AOL.com.
