Greetings,

I have a 1985 Sea Ray 300 Weekender that is in beautiful condition,
except for the windshield frame. The aluminum windshield frame looks
absolutely terrible, and thus, really detracts from the boat.

I considered removing the windshield from the boat, and having the
frame powdercoated, but the folks at the Sea Ray factory said getting
the frame off is one thing, but removing the glass is quite another.

Anyone have any advice on "restoring" the windshield frame without
removing it, or the glass? Buffing wheel on a drill with aluminum
polish perhaps?

Also, has anyone removed the glass from a frame? I'm concerned about
breaking the glass, because I can imagine locating a match would be
near impossible.
