I have an idea to build a windshield I will throw out there for criticque. I want to buy the plexiglass from TAP plalstics and have them bend it down 90 degrees at the bottom so that instead of going straight and sitting on top of the hood it will turn down in front of the dash. I will have to mount it between the roll cage posts and not on top of them to make this work. I will trim it to match the profile of the hood (where the hood screws to the dash) and remove those screws and screw the windshield to the dash in the same holes. I will put a thin foam tape type seal between these to water tight the connection. If I oversize the holes in the plastic a bit it may give this connection enough flexibility to keep it from cracking. I want to make this a split windshield so the top part folds down like the golf cart ones. I need to check out the golf carts to get better ideas on how to do this. I think I can attach this windshield to the frame with the same billet bracket that my flag attaches to. I think it might look cool with the billet brackets and the roll down to the dash. Another idea is to make this lower rolled section out of dark smoked glass and only bring it up a few inches on the roll cage so it doesn't block visibility. It may add a touch of class. The balance of the windshield would be two pieces of clear with the top half folding down onto the bottom half. I am hoping I can accomplish this with double sided snaps. Hope this is all understandable and I welcome any criticism.
