Has any done hard coat windshield tinting? I find this windshield extremely tall and roof cap does not block sun and blinds me often.

Any advise?

Great idea! That would help the lower piece with scratching.

Found the solution !!!! :)))) Acrylic !!! 1/8" x 12" x 48" Bronze 2370 Acrylic Sheet or you can step down to more translucent 2412 ( see for reference Plexiglass colored acrylic sheets in Bronze, Gray, Smoked, Grey transparent colors or use Gray

I bought 1/8" x 12" x 48" Bronze 2370 Acrylic Sheet from Acrylic 1/8" Tinted & Colored Sheeting | U.S. Plastic Corp.

You can fabricate 3 4" windscreen shades, since I tried to cut it manually by scraping with a knife :), I messed it up and chipped it off in the middle , so decided cut the rest with hand saw, see youtube video how to here:
or here
or youtube for manual cut.

How to drill :

I have one screen extra, if anyone needs it PM me, will ship it (might need a bit to open holes if does if does not fit, see pic)

Use torch to finish edges.

Good luck!
