.177" polycarbonate
It's super flexible, really easy to bend and doesn't crease.
Templated it with vapor barrier plastic , some masking tape and a sharpie

I extended the top rails. Had a local guy who works with aluminum do it, turned out ok, ended up breaking one at the weld installing it and had to re-do it but they've been fine now.
not sure who makes the windshield

Were you able to use scraps from the old rails or did he have something to match? This is my next project on my 42

Thanks for the info guys. I have a really good specialty welding shop close to me so I'm confident they make a one time weld. Hopefully I can source some matching rail material from Fountain or Taylor.

Let me know I have some top rail left over from when I did mine. I'm sure we could work something out.
