I work at a manufacture of this type of product. We have an entire profile extrusion plant. For the money they are asking, I can almost make the die and extrude it myself. Send me a picture of the profile and I will see if we have something close (maybe perfect) I need the view of the end, not from the side. Like if you were looking through a pvc pipe. My email is below.

This is good info Joe. Unfortunately, my windshield is assembled, so I can't see the profile of the w/s. I posted on another thread about a guy who was cutting his down - asked him to take a profile pic, but I don't think he ever did.

If we could get a profile pic, I'm sure we could source this very easily. You've got a Fountain - wanna take one for the team??? LOL!

I have an 05 EX with a race farring. No windshields for me:)

I have thought about calling on the boat companies to get this type of business. Probably isn't the type of business I'd usually chase, but the meetings would be cool. I could make some custom colored rub rails, and all kinds of cool chit.

Great conversation here. Has anyone ever priced a short windshield from Fountain?

I have not. Have tried to purchase a couple other items and had difficulty getting a call back. It was always easier to find a different source.

I just happen to have a couple profile shots of the rubbers. U shaped one is the rubber the lexan sits in. The other one is an outside "cap" piece that fills a groove.
