 |
|
Near new LP Acrylic windshield beyond tight fit near top of the door frame near spar. Does not allow formed openings to fit anywhere close to the front spar (1 1/4") and not back far enough on to fit plastic to the rib. Bent upper window frame area near door slightly to match curvature of windshield already. It's near 80 degrees today and out in the sun to give you the weather forecast on the windshield. Looked up my receipt for what I paid and would rather do it right. Did I mention this will be my 2nd windshield. First was second hand and died before install.

Try making a construction paper template. Go very slow. I like the small hand belt sander for fitting plexi glass. Harbor freight use to carry them. The belt is about 5 too 6 inched long and maybe 3/8 wide. You can mark a tape line and then grind right to it. Of course this whole process is problematic if the initial fitting is to far off.

The shape on mine was not even close. I plan to use foil and make a fiberglass piece like on my model III .
