[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1407048, member: 84694"] I wanted to check on the ability of the windshield to deal with flexing, so I took that old one and did some crude testing with a hand sledge and jumped up and down on it, curve up, such that it flattened against my driveway. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/pirate.gif[/IMG] Sprung back nicely every time with no sign of brittleness. But the sledge did make the surface kind of ugly. Given that this is normal for these screens and I haven't heard anything about these things cracking, I've decided to return windshield one for the wider one. This should give me the width I thought I was getting in the first place [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/yeaahh.gif[/IMG] I'll just live with the scarring that will inevitably occur where it rubs against the cross brace. But I will mount it with SS screws and nylon washers beneath. [/QUOTE]
