Make it a little higher and lay it down a little bit more, so it's not so straight up.

Looks like a cool idea.

Thanks yeeharacing

I will make one 1/4 inch higher and lay it back 6 or 7 degrees .

The one in pic is 3/4 of a inch high and about 10 degrees back .

I thought the sides should be longer too!

Some pics... take a look at great adventure it looks just like yours but with a longer side.

Dry Martini is more like what I was thinking.

I would have used plastic u chanel .

Then screw the u chanel to the deck, silcone the lexan to the u chanel.

Scraped the idea, no windshield . Like crazy said drivers are set to close !
