'37 windshield replacement?

[Jantrix]

I'm trying to replace the windshield glass for the Monogram 37 Ford cabriolet. It is creased in the center. So far I have been unable to replicate the crease without getting I haze in the plastic at the bend. Any ideas.

Rob,

It all depends on the type and thickness of the clear plastic used. Have you looked at the clear acetate folders available in office supply stores?

No I've been using the clear stuff from Evergreen.

Do you need a windshield Rob or are you just making a better one? Try finding some really thin clear acetate from a package of some sort. The thinner the better. That's what I always use. If you need one, send me a PM.

If there's a center divider in the windshield, couldn't you just make 2 separate pieces of plastic instead of trying to replicate the crease>?

i think thats the way to go , make 2 separate pieces of glass and make them sit against eitch other in the right angle , so the edges that touth need to be sanded in a anlge .

then glue them with clear glue and maybe poilsh the glass a bit

and if you ant one piece and you heat it then it def. wrinkles where you toutch it , would only work if you make the ends longer then only heat it a tiny bit and slowly bend it , but imo its really hard to make that sharp edge without ruining the glass

There is no center divider. I have made do with the kit piece. Thanks for the help.
