Re: Fountain Windshield
Are these acrylic or polycarbonate? Acrylic will craze (those internal checks) and there is little you can do about it even though they're superficial. Crazing occurs with age, UV and when the piece hasn't been annealed prior to installation. One common cause is also when the boat is covered with a tarp, the gas fumes inside the setup get around and mess things up. Lastly amonia based cleaners like Windex...
We laser cut the windshield, form them, then anneal them to preclude crazing

Re: Fountain Windshield
If you have the defects like some people have pointed out above , you'll have to paint the cockpit side as well as the deck side to hide the blemishes....
