Default Triming the lexan windshield??

I currently have the full size windshield on my RK Cust. The dang top edge is right in my line of sight....catch myself tilting my head up and down all the time. So I'm thinking I could take this to an auto glass shop and they could take an inch or two off. Has anyone done this before? And should I be asking any specific questions about how they would cut lexan? Obviously I want to make sure they can leave a nice finish edge as I have now.

Another related question.....I would assume that I could take the same windshield to a tint shop and they could "smoke" it for me?

Thanks for the help.

Mayday

Mayday,

There is a topic in the DIY area about cutting your windshield. It is easy, fun, and will look just like it came from the factory that way.

Regards,

Bill
