I made a windshield exactly how I wanted it out of carboard. I then took the measurements, just to make sure there was no confusion.

I brought this to glazer glass in New Bedford (only because its right across rt. 18 from my work). They made what I wanted in 1/4" plexi the next day. Cost was $130. Front panel is 40"wx 15"h. Both sides curve back, and are angled down, with a zig and a zag, but are approx 8"wx15"h.

You don't have to use glazer, I bet any glass shop / windshield repair can do this. The gal at the counter at glazer said they do hundreds each season. I haven't mounted it yet, but I will take a pic tonight anyway. It came out way better than I thought it would.

One thing I wish I did was have them drill the holes for me before bending. I am not really nervouse about drilling the holes, but it would have been easier for them when working with a flat sheet of plexi.
