    Polycarbonate replacement windshield: I am surprised no-one has mentioned: www.opticarmorwindows.com Optic Armour does nothing but polycarbonate windshields. Just ordered a 3/16"x24"x72" sheet ($270) to replace my cracked windshield that appeared while fitting the Premium Top (even though I was so careful with all the screws). The wood windshield crossbar put pressure I think on the sun visor brackets. This then exerted pressure on the windshield edge by one of the mounting screws. I think the whole frame perimeter clearances for screws needs revisiting in the frame design. If the frame perimeter was just an 1/8" wider it would probably eliminate all the issues.

    Will you be able to bend the polycarbonate enough?
