Making your own windshield?
Instead of using plexi-glass which is extremely dangerous when
broken, consider using the following materials.
A product called Tuffak, used in the construction of plane landing light covers,
also it does not crack when cut with jigsaw, use tin snips to cut the material.
Resists scratching, much safer then plexi, bends when hit instead of
shattering or cracking, plexi is like glass when broken.
A couple other products: Hyzoid (sp) or Lexan.
Makes great sidecar and Topper windshields.
If you want to have the bead around the windshield, use a clear
vinyl tubing and split it with a knife on one side, then slide it over the edge of
your windshield.
Also you can contact a plastic dealer for an extruded tube for windshield edge.
Remember if you want that 100 point Topper you need to use an original.

Notice the wire basket in the center console, the bumper badge
also the windshield.
