Brian,
We replaced the Lexan with a new one made of Acrylic ( Plexiglass ) 3/16". The Lexan that we used should never be used for a windshield and I can go into all the reasons why, off line, if you like. Acrylic cannot be "cold" formed. So the oven and all the issues that go along with heat forming. The cool thing about our canopy is that you will never see one exactly like it. The really not cool thing about our canopy is that you will never find one exactly like it. Therefore, if anything happens to it, we are toast until I can build a new one and I don't even want to think about that. You have brought up some really bad memories and I have tried to put some of them back on the site, but cannot find all the parts right now. I will look at it later and post when I have replaced the pertinent parts. My best advise to anyone thinking of forming their own windshield, is go have as many Heineken as it takes to make you forget that thought. By the way, it only took me 7 tries to get is as right as it is. Go to Todd s web site and read about why he is now selling bubbles.
