Default Shattered Windshield on the BT!!!!! Help

Horrific storm blew through yesterday and caused much destruction. RV port destroyed and shattered the windshield on my 08 Black Thunder. Does anyone know if these were built in house by BT or an outside source?
Any leads on where I could find one?

Maybe try calling BT to see who they had making them. Not sure if the contact info is accurate.

Team Archer, I did put in a call to Carmin, waiting on a call back.

Griff, I am new to the BT line, but to my understanding they have been shutdown since 2011. Thinking they may have had some left over parts that someone purchase or may still be available if someone knows someone that work there.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks Griff for leading me to a number. I called the number on the web site and actually talked to the guy that retire, DJ. He wasn't able to give me much info on what is available, but did say that to call back in a couple weeks. There would be some work starting again in the shop and they might be able to help me.
Does this mean BT is maybe coming back?

BT was trying to reopen the doors a couple years ago at LOTO, but it never happened. http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...roduction.html

That is what I had heard over the years as well but not sure how much truth to it.
