Next up for asheville is changing all the belts. hopefully that will be a bit more straight forward.

OK, so update:
3/16ths thick lexan sheet didn't really have that much better performance than 1/8" at highway speeds.
so now i have to decide if i want to try again with 1/4" lexan or go back to looking for actual glass.
it was really disappointing to have done all that work and still have wobbling problems.
At least the wipers ran fine all the way to asheville and back with no scratching or marring.

On it.
Had already called a friend in NC that had (past tense) a spare windshield. Unfortunately a professional glazier that was paid to remove it from parts Eureka broke it while removing.
