how is your windshield frame?
 

Mine is silver, maybe a little "grimy" (yes I've cleaned often!)

Anyone ever dis-assemble & re-paint? Or paint on boat?

Just wondering for a winter project.

it's that damn vinyl-backed sunbrella that discolors it-trapping moisture, and wear also
mine was like that new from moisture

i have completly dissasembled mine 97 382 taken all the glass out had every peice media blasted and powder coated a little darker. if i did it again i would go with white . its not a hard job at all . the to front halves just slide to gether in the middle as well as the side s

Mine's showing 11 years of wear on the top pieces, where they've been dinged by the bimini top hardware on a couple of occasions. If I can find a powder coat to match, I may just do the upper parts. God to hear that it sounds like a simple job.

That's one thing that I've often wondered about replacing or re-painting/ powder coating. I was going to price out a stainless frame from Formula, but the sticker shock might be a little more than I want to handle.

i'd like to hear more about the removal process!

There is black rubber strips either holding glass in place or acting as weather stripping. As well as 3/4" black square piece running around exterior. Would be ideal to replace all at same time.

And how come i'm the only one in this thread without a picture (avatar) looks like I better cough up renewal fee!

I need to take windshield apart and replace all the plastic strips.

How big of a job is this?

no problem on taking it apart ...problem is getting the replacement strips ...there is another thread about trying to get a manufactuor to make up some replacment parts on a group buy ..... I have not had the time to check into it though....m
