Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

I was going to start a new thread to ask this question, but might as well ask here where we have so many people exploring the different pros and cons of this model. I've been flying my Decathlon for about 2 years now, and am starting to get a little bit of looseness where the wing hold-down dowels go into the former above/behind the windshield. Basically with the wing bolted down, I can move the front of the wing up and down and each wing half side to side ever so slightly. And I do mean slightly...barely a fraction of a millimeter, but it's there nonetheless and will likely continue to get worse. Has anyone else had a similar issue, and what can be done to fix it?

Additionally my windshield has begun to split along on edge (between the windshield frame and the wing). Figured it should be easy/cheap enough to replace, but according to the parts listing on Dynaflite's website they want $30 for a new one.  [X(] Unfortunately I think my options are going to be limited to paying that or making a very visible and unattractive patch to hold it together.
