New Custon Windshield

So, I wasn't happy with the half windshield that I bought with my RSX. Its great in the summer (I actually cut 5" off it to make it shorter), but with the temps getting close to freezing here, it was getting a little cold on the face!
So the choices....
JD's 'no scratch' windshield = I don't believe it won't scratch and I wasn't going to risk $500 to test it!
JD's glass windshield with wiper = Too much coin for something that looks like it came off a piece of logging equipment!

So I decided to build my own. Now saying that, I figured I may have to use a rubber insert to hold the glass in, but at least it would not cost $700+

I headed over to a buddys aluminum fab shop and we fabbed up a 1/8" aluminum frame, then headed down to the local glass shop and he suggested that we 'glue' the glass on with urethane similar to how automotive windshields are installed.

So we used 6 mm laminated safety glass with a slight tint and they painted the inside of the glass to hide the urethane. I am pretty happy with the result! Took it out yesterday and the cab is nice and warm now, we hit lots of branches on the trail, no scratches or cracks. Did some rock crawling and lots of twisting and no problems
