Well... I finally reached a point where I'm going to do something with this windshield. I figured waiting one year in the hope DOT glass would become available was long enough.

I removed the frame from the car & removed the glass from the frame yesterday. Prior to doing so... I had noticed that Performance Unlimited now offers a Polyglass windshield for a BDR... and they have added a template with measurements for a BDR windshield. Unfortunately... my measurements don't match theirs. I measured... and then re-measured several times just to ensure accuracy... and used the parameters listed on the BDR template on their website. While my windshield measures larger than the SPF templates in all but one category... it measures significantly SMALLER than the BDR template in all but one category. JUST my luck.

While I'm once again awaiting an answer from them on the "custom cut" charge question... I'm exploring the MR10 Lexan option. The existing windshield is 3/16" thick... and Jimbo01 states to use 3/16" Lexan.

My rubber seals don't look the least bit worn and are still soft & pliable... and I'm not a big fan of having to "goop" one into the frame. Jimbo01... if you don't mind me asking... did you use your original seals?
