I need to cut down my windshield were should I bring it to get done.I know I can do it myself but would rather not mess up a 300.00 dollar investment.

 

I don't know of any place that does it. I did mine on my band saw in about 3 minutes. Draw the line, cut it then sand it with progressively finer sandpapper until smooth. The hardest part is drawing the new profile that you want. There are many here on this forum that have done their own. I am sure someone else will offer suggestions. Good Luck.

 

I posted the full details last yr, so a search will find it..
short version...
tape off, layout the cut, I used a roto-zip and it cut the shield very easy...Practice in the scrap area of the shield first as the cutter will pull away from the rotation of the cut. And hold roto-zip solid in hands.
file off edges, MAKE sure U tape both sides and leave it on while filing... Dont ask me why...

 

I cut my own down after reading a few threads on here. I was also scared, but it turned out pretty good and I'm probably the only one that will ever be able to tell. Worst case, you have to buy another piece of plastic, which I think you can get for less than $100

 

I agree with all the posts. I've cut them before too. Lots of tape. I cut about 1/8" away from the line then bring it in with a sander. Not hard to do at all. Just take your time.

 

Here is a complete set of instructions on the how to. http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/tec...eld/index.html

 

Double and triple up on the tape (wide around the bottom side edge) to prevent scratches from the cutting tool. I've laid blankets down on top of foam pads on a low workbench to prevent scratches. If you need to take off one inch, I would practice by taking off 1/2 inch first. When finish sanding the edge, wrap the sandpaper around a small block of wood to get a OEM finish. The beauty of doing it yourself, is you can take off a little, test it and then take off more, if necessary. Just don't take off to much to start. As stated above, lots of good threads archived in this forum on how to do it.

Not a bad job at all. I've done it a couple of times with really good results.

 

Carefull, I did mine and it was very easy. I soon saw that the tape removed patches of the coating from the windshield.

 

I cut mine as well, however, you might try a glass shop if you don't want to do it. You might also look on eBay or check out Memphis Shades for one that's already at the height you want.

 

I used a jig saw (fine tooth blade) & belt sander. The sander will smooth out any waves in your cut.
