any windcreen place should have glass and yer the windscreen surround does unbolt and come off.

its a prick of a job, hence the $$...
the fibreglass panels are effort, but worthwhile for beach runners etc.

The fiberglass ones may not rust but I dont like mine. It doesnt fit very well at all. It causes the roof to shake because its flexy. The bolt holes wear out really easy as well. Also there is a gap between the door and the frame.

I've bought a FRP Windscreen Frame before and not long after buying it I took it back and got my cash back.
They are a heavy unit, the 6 bolt holes on the front seemed to be back by a very thin metal, a magnet could hardly find it. Didn't fit well at all as has been mentioned above.
I think the stock one was lighter than the FRP version.
I ended up looking around for a metal one to replace mine and then ended up having mine repaired, deopends on the damage I guess.
