Straightening Windshield Frame

[escapade]

So winter storage wasn't so nice to my boat, some timber fell on the front window smashed it and bent the frame, is there anyway to straighten the frame back? or do I have to replace it? and unfortunatly the window is curved.

If finding a replacment proves to be as hard as I think its going to be is it possible to repair the top part of the frame that is bent??

Re: Straightening Windshield Frame

Take a picture of the damage and post it. There are definitely some aluminum welding wizards out there who might be able to help.

PS: It's not a deck, it's called the sole. The deck is the topside of the boat. The sole is what you stand on.

Did you contact a dealer for your boats brand? (what boat is it? ) If they can't get the needed piece, iboats has replacement windshields. Have you checked out their offerings yet?

Chances are the frame will need to be replaced as well.

You can also check ebay and boat salvage yards like Lanier boat salvage.
