Re: dumb me
You need to be very careful with acetone on any plastic surface, that will be an expensive lesson!! Windshields are not cheap..

Re: dumb me
Ouch! That is a hard lesson to learn. If you want to get a windshield that will last you a lifetime, go with F4 Customs. My 7 year old one looks the same as the day I installed it!

Re: dumb me
Perhaps it was the only way to convince the wife that a new windshield was necessary. Good info billbob, thank you.

Re: dumb me
Sorry. When you get a new windscreen installed drop by your dealer and get a can of Honda pro cleaner, stuff is great on plastic and water just beads off.
