I got to pass this along to you guys: I ordered my Mars resistant 10 inch half moon on 10/2, I sent Robin an e-mail about 30 minutes ago to see if they had them in stock and let me know when to look for it. She just called to let me know it was on the way! WOW! Where can you get customer service like that? I highly recommend doing business with Pat & Robin!!!

me too. I e-mailed them with a question, and I hadn't even returned to the forum before my phone rang. a total, I think, of about 30 sec's.

Thumbs down Crap windshields

Would I buy one again? Yes. But I might go with an 11" next time.

I had 4 of their great windshields.....everyone one of them broke.....I did love them for the extra protection they gave.....they are not designed properly and everyone cracked in the corner near the screw hole due to flexing in the wind. Great company warranteed everyone but I got sick of changing them; I went to a Memphis Shades windshield and never had another bit of problem.
The extra wing needs some time of support to keep it from flexing in the wind or perhaps if they were made out of a different material the problem would go away.

I've got one too. Very nice folks, Pat and Robin I believe. They'll cut you one ANY SIZE YOU WANT, no extra charge for special cut. I had them cut me a 7 1/2", and it works great. Recommend that you get the one that doesn't mar as easily. It's a little more, but well worth it....

Not sure about the "far less dorky" part
