Anyone have any reasons why I should choose Univair over Aircraft Spruce for my new PA18 Windscreen? Shipping is a factor- Spruce is much closer to my mailing address.
I have had good luck with Great Lakes aero great customer service better prices than those listed. They also supply drill bits for a small fee. They even included a piece of scrap plexiglas to practice on when I did my Champ. They will custom make windows other than the standard products. www.glapinc.com
I really like them. The SG tint is very light and mostly unnoticeable from within the cabin. The SG-UV tint results in noticeably cooler cabin temps than the clear windshield it replaced. I used darker tints for the cargo area side windows and much darker tints for the top windows from Interstate Plastics. This is an L-21, so heavy tinting in the rear is useful for temperature control.
I used standard thickness, so I can't comment whether thicker windshields help.
