Default Where to find windshield. 95 Z202 Shabah

I live in Northeast Arkansas, year before last we had a horribly bad ice storm and as luck would have it, an ice covered tree limb fell on the passenger side windshield of my 1995 Z202 Shabah. I haven't had a problem getting it straightened out and can get a triangular piece of glass cut for the back piece, but does anyone have any idea what I can do about the curved windshield? It's making me sick looking at it because the boat is in really good condition and has a brand new 400hp smallblock.

    Right after "how do i find a manual" comes "where can i find a windshield" in the Most Asked Questions list. If you do a site search you will find a number of threads dealing with that problem. I will tell you that your chances of finding a windshield are somewhere between slim & none due to the age of your boat. I ended up taking my frame to a local plastics vendor & they formed one out of acrylic for me for about $300. I believe there is a company in Florida that will form a glass piece for you but someone here checked them out & if i remember correctly it was somewhere in the $2k range.

    Yeah, I searched and found a few replies about newer boats and the side glasses. I thought maybe someone like you may have an idea about an alternative. Thanks for the idea. I will just have to try to find a place around here that can make one out of plastic.
