    Default Chapparal 2100SX Windshield

    My windshield on the drivers side needs to be replaced. Anyone know the specs on the glass because I want to keep it close to original.

    Welcome to iboats!

    It's undoubtedly tempered glass. Here's a trick to figure out the thickness: Use drill bits inserted into the frame to measure. The correct one will be snug. Start with 3/16". Once you have that figured out, you'll have to make a template for the glass shop- tempered glass can't be trimmed after it's cut to size and tempered.

    Of course, your port window is probably exactly the same as the starboard. You can use that to measure thickness and make the template. Or just take it to the glass shop.

    Thanks Bob, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I will take my template to the glass shop.
