First I used aircraft style captured nuts (1/4" X 28 ) that I got from Pegasus Racing and riveted them around the perimeter. I figured I might want to remove the windshield at some point without having to drill out rivets. Next, I used 1/2" self-adhesive foam weatherstrip.


I then used the glass windshield as a template and cut the Lexan with a skill saw. I used a belt sander to dress the edges. Using a tape measure and a Sharpie, I marked out a 1" border on the PVC cover, with a 2" border on the bottom. I used an Exacto blade to trim away what I marked, then painted it (on the back) with black Krylon.


This is what it looked like when I pealed the rest of the PVC cover off, after the paint dried.


I used button head machine screws with black rubber washers underneath, and this was the result-

That better?
