Taylormade not helpful? Nah....couldn't be true.

Actually they can be to a small extent. Last we heard was that they had a few molds for our boats newer than '97. And to have a chance at getting one you need the following as per Taylormade:

A lot of our members have had this problem (not that its unique to Mariah) and struggled to find what they need. You can try calling "Karen" at 260-347-1368-ext-247 as one of our other members had a bit of luck with her.....no, not 'that' kind of luck.

Here's another response from a Gayle at TaylorMade that one of our other members received:

Dear Sir,
I will need the sticker numbers off the trim on the inside of the windshield.

I will need the serial numbers on the windshield. If you are sitting in the boat and look along the bottom inside trim of the windshield you should see a clear stick with numbers on it. There should be one for each section. If you can get me those I can see if we can figure out what the center should be. When Mariah was in business they bought windshields in components and mixed and match the parts on the boats.

Your other options are having one formed out of acrylic or plexiglass at a cost of around $300-$500 from your local plastics company or approaching a company like Marine Glass Specialties and having a proper one made. Prepare to open your wallet though and maybe take out a 2nd mortgage on your home.
