Do you have a picture of that lighting set up?

Any suggestions on glareshield refurbishment? Mine is cracked, broken, multiple old repairs coming apart and covered in decomposing materials. Or any new that an outfit is making?

wslade2, I restored my glareshield earlier this year. Mine was structurally in decent shape, so I had minimal work to repair.

If I had to fix cracks in one though, I would do it with a two-part epoxy resin, with a fiberglass sheet support on the backside. Bondo makes a good system for this. The space between the upper and lower glareshield surfaces is only 0.75 - 1.0 inches, so it would be tight working in that space.

For the surface finish I used the products below. It turned out great.
adhesion-promoter
vinyl-and-fabric-coating

I used the "Flat Black Vinyl & Fabric Coating", 11 oz. Aerosol, SKU: HVP106, to reduce the glare off the glareshield.

NAPA carries the surface finish products, although they did have to order what I needed.

Thanks!

Mine though is in too bad a shape for that level repair. The prior owner put a low pile automotive carpet on it with adhesive. Probably the best is to fix the cracks and cover with vinyl….or I’ve seen some of these interior shops and leather…

Aircraft spruce has a vinyl glare shield covering kit but got a bad review.
