The old Taylor Made windshields used to have a round button with either "Taylor Made" or the manufacturer of the boat's name on it. I want to get a new one but have not had any luck finding a supplier of these "buttons". Anyone know where I can go to get one of these (its about 1 inch wide):<br /><br />

Hey Chief,<br /><br />You made my ears perk up when I read 'old windshield' I am looking for one, even a good frame with bad plexi will make my day. What I am looking for is a wrap around design that is ~72" across at the base. Any chance, that is what you got with the button on it?<br /><br />Sorry for the brief Hijack Mark<br /><br />Cheers<br />Ethan

Hey Chief,<br /><br />It isn't clear to me if you are willing to part the windshield from the boat. I personally am interested in it if you are. My boats windshield is REALLY bad and a a very poor fit (not original and not even close). I am mostly looking for a decent frame with which to start and then I will follow Mark's article on replacing the plexi

It's your lucky day Mark, you finally have some mail...Chief :) <br />Eggkr8, I will have a look, this particular windshield goes with a boat, but I have another that might have a good frame...it would be an old frame from the '50s, if I didn't toss it out it's yours, you can pick it up next time you're in the 'hood. Chief :) <br />j/k EG, but it would be less expensive to buy the aluminum pieces and form your own tho...I'll get back to you...

Eg, I must have tossed that old windshield out, it would have looked like the one in Mark's avatar. Shipping the one piece frame across country would have been more that it was worth anyhows. Chief :)
