I've got a 25 and a problem with the windshield. Due to poor planning with the t-top install, there is very little clearance between the support bars on each corner of the top of the windshield. Not an issue at rest, but last time I was out, I took a wave funny and it shook the top enough to contact and break a large chuck out of the screen.
So this leaves me with 2 questions for you guys.
1) Assuming the windscreen is original (no idea??) what material would it be made out of and who can tell me what the best glue/adhesive to replace the missing chuck (it is large, a pie wedge about 8" long by 4").
2) I obviously need to to something about the clearance to prevent this from happening again. I'm thinking I could notch or scallop out a cut from each corner near the bars, so if the top shakes it will have a little more wiggle room in the future. But obviously i'd like to keep it looking as clean as possible, if we could discuss what tool and method might be best, (grinding, cutting, drilling, etc?) for a reasonably clean final product.
I'm cursed with windshields, not too long ago in my old boat, a barracuda jumped from the water into the cockpit to and busted the whole thing in two. [B)]
