Has anyone purchased the UPD replacement windshields, I started cleaning up the cvx16 and found two cracks, just driving me crazy.  I guess 33 years isn't bad, I'll probable drill them out to stop the spreading, but I want a new one...

Most people are happy with the replacements ... except price ...
Pretty sure you have to drill holes for mounting screws ... and that would be nerve racking !

Heres a new one , its looks great and fits well , it should for the price lol .

Thanks for the info, think I'm going to order one...I wish the holes were drilled, that seems to be a nightmare if it breaks.

Little note on this. The Plexi is very brittle and unforgiving.  I know you will want to bend it into place and drill over and into existing holes. Don't. Any stress on the plastic while you are drilling will send a crack along the bend from the new hole up. Better to mark, flatten out, drill and re-position.  I bought a UDP and it was the right size but too expensive. I think we could start our own pool of drawings.

I'm going to add this to the "Windshield" thread ...
