BajaForce - As far as I know Viplex is still in bussiness I belive down around Sarasota or Melborne, Fla. I'll try and find an address for ya. I have a plastics guy that can do about anything with plexi if you have no luck, or , go the fiberglass way. I did a fiberglass race fairing not the cabin door. Let me know if you need some help.

I have the Bandit with a radar arch. Pretty sure there aren't any other Bandits around there with the arch. Pics are on the for sale section. It is for sale, 'cause I bought an H2X a few months ago that needed some work, and I should have it ready by spring. I pretty much keep my eyes open for Baja boats when I'm at Monroe so I'm sure I've seen your boat, just didn't know it was you. Post a pic here if you can.

Viplex was bought by Uniroyal in 1998. In 2000, Spartech bought Uniroyals plastics business. Viplex was originally in Melbourne, FL. Moved to Rockledge FL after the buy out. The number is 321-636-7562 or try www.spartech.com for e-mail.

I just gave Spartech a call. They are familiar with the Viplex products and did purchase the company a couple years ago. Left a voice mail for Ben in tech services about hatches for '88 Baja. I need some track and rollers. Told him I knew of someone needing a hatch. Will call him back tomorrow or Friday and see what he says.

In the past Viplex would sell direct to the end user. Now that it is Spartech they will not. The replacement windshield I have in the boat is a Spartech product but I had to go through a dealer to get it.
The cost was about $2300 or so
Stellerplastics would do it but wanted to split the front windshield which I didn't want. They wanted $630

I just ran across a couple of companies that make boat windscreens and windshields. One is www.finneys.com, the other is www.cityplastics.com
