Well, this was to be the weekend that the windshield and passenger window
were installed.  So, since the weather was cooperating, I got the windshield
down to get it ready for installation.  While removing the tape from around
the edges, I noticed some all too familiar little streaks through the
protective covering.  So, to be sure, I removed some of the covering and in
fact, the entire area around the bend is full of little cracks, just like
the Lexan had.

I was told by a person who should know, ( now you tell me ), that I should
have heated the Plexi to 300 and kept it there for at least an hour.  Well,
I was trying to apply only enough heat to get it to form.  

I'm sick, Jerry is sick and now we start all over again.

The only reason I bring you this bad news is so you will know why it seems
that we don't make any progress and to discourage you from ever trying to do
this when you can buy a canopy bubble from Todd for a little over $300.

Sometimes everything just SUCKS.
