This has all gone very Pythonesque , I actually feel that it's a shame that Steves topic/ blog is being muddied

I agree, and will unilaterally act as moderator by suggesting that we terminate this by now silly quest.
My question re. the Relaint windshield's curvature(s?) remains unanswered.
If anyone has further info on it feel free to p.m. me. ;)

Eer......

OK.

I believe you can purchase a teflon type treatment that might help keep muck and disperse water off your plastic screen. With muck not sticking there wuill be less need to clean it, thus less chance to scratch it.

Yes, I still have Rain-ex that I used on my Minicoopers when I lived in Canada 35 years ago.
It got me through winter rain and snow without wipers.  The trick with snow was not to heat the wind shield so the snow wouldn't stick.
Driving faster actually made the rain disperse even better, and wipers just wiped off the coating sooner.
Since then, no need as I live in Southern California.
So I could get away with plexi on the Tielhol, if I could manage to fit some in a frame that contained the original compound curved glass unit.

Not sure if you need them like I did on my IVA test, but the bolt heads may need some nut covers?

No peel action at my end. Still researching and looking.

I'm still on remote controlled models, whilst waiting for chromers to do bits.

Trying abit of carpet with out swamping it , carpet on the dash and chrome insert means the screen is sealed in tight
