I put my windshield on leaving the plastic on just pulling it back on the edges to rivet it on. When I pulled the plastic off I had two deep scratches on the in side right across the vision field. I bought a scratch repair kit from Air craft spruce. Spent the next 14 hours polishing the scratches out. They polished out and the Plexiglas was clear if you looked at it from front. But get in side and look out every thing was distorted & blurry. So after all that work I called Travis and bought a new windshield and installed it last week end.The local glass shop wanted $182 dollars for a half sheet of Lexan. The new Kolb only charged me $60 Plus shipping. I spent that much on the polish kit.
I'm just waiting on my FAA reg papers to come back again they rejected them the first time. Not a proper bill of sale. I'm still having problems with the EIS & the fuel sender. Its going to take someone smarter than me to figure it out.

I've got my plane back in the garage for Winter ( MN )
One thing that I'll be working on is a full enclosure....
My personal favorite design is making it in sections.....
that way things can be replaced cheaply.... my main front piece will be
2 ft x 4 ft , Then I can add doors ( removable )....I'll have to make a frame to bow out the doors a little.
I think it will waste less lexan that way too....
I'm just gonna pick up some stuff from Fleet Farm...

I just bought a small sheet of lexan ( the real stuff ) from Fleet Farm.
A sheet 34" x 44" cost me $49.99 , after I make frames for the front three sections ( Front and both doors ), it'll be easy to replace a piece if needed....

me?
Thanks,
