Has anyone ever strenthened their outlaw windscreen by filling it with foam or the like? I've fixed mine twice, and it keeps cracking. It needs to be solid, but still remain light. Thx in advance.

Sorry, I am talking about the older outlaws with the thin, hollow type windscreen.

Thanks az...I was not aware that there is a difference.

If it is some kind of layered or cored material, I would try and see if you can get a replacement made of something stronger providing the old one as a mold.

I was thinking about pouring in liquid expandable foam, but concerned about distortion when curing. Its the same foam the Baja factory uses under the floor.

The expanding foam can generate a significant amount of pressure when curing.

azlineman-
Where is it cracking? I have a 92 24OL and have no cracks.. My windscreeen still has a label on it with the manufactures name and address if you want it.. You might be able to contact them about strenthening it. I guess Baja contacted windscreens out.
