Btw, concerning the windshield, I was talking to the guy that runs the local glass specialty shop, and he said if I cared to, he'd send it off to one of his plexi-glass suppliers who also custom refabs stuff and can have it duplicated, but it'd be pricy though. But I didn't ask how much... Yet.


There are places online that can make these things but I still think
you can buff it out if it is just cloudy.

Use something like jeweler's rouge or a soft rubbing compound on a
fleece pad and a buffer.

I'll give it a try but it's really not too bad. This isn't a top priority project. It's actually live able the way it is. So I'm not gonna put too much effort into it. But...it could be a bit better.


My windshield is glass. Went out to Grand Lake yesterday and could hardly see through it due to dust & dirt and residue from salt water last month. Had a sheet of paper towel in my pocket so I leaned over and wet it in the lake and then wiped the windshield. Much better but I'll have to start carrying some mild window cleaner with me.
