Every Scarab 1 I looked at had a cracked or broken windshield and everyone thinks it is so easy to make one out of 1/2" acrylic. Ah huh.
I was successful in finding a shop that has made them before. I ordered mine from UPD Plastics in Florida. They were somewhat more reasonable than any of the other plastic shops I contacted. The broken side of my tinted windshield was $395, plus the ride. It is about $50 cheaper if you have a clear windshield. Lead time is 5 weeks, so if you live up north like me, get your order in now.
You will have to drill your own holes. I'm going oversize and chamfering them, as I do not want to go through this again.

Found out that UPD cannot source the light grey tint color on my broken windshield. Had to order BOTH port and starboard to get a match to what is currently available. I'll therefore be selling my starboard windshield if anyone's interested.
