Ski nautique 200 windshield bent?

[rivvy]

Could someone that has a 200 take a look at this picture and help me determine if my pass through windshield frame is bent or if it's supposed to be this way? Boat is new to me. The flange towards the bottom is the area I am taking about.

Frame is bent...supposed to be straight.

Agreed, it should be straight. How does it sit with the window closed? Is it all gapped up on the other side?

Yes it has a gap at the bottom. I have no idea how someone did that? Now do I try to straighten it or let it be? Sure would suck if I broke it. Aluminum isn't super forgiving. I'll probably give it a try.

If it is a brand new boat under warranty take it back and let the dealer fix it. I think the windshields are $$$$. Show us a picture of the whole boat.

We had a sport 200 that in rough waters the pass through windshield would fall and jam between the existing frame. This may have caused the bend in the pass through frame.

Straightening it would be tough, at least to make it look factory again. Perhaps you could have that piece replaced / fabricated at a metal shop?

Is the window Taylor Made?

The center piece is generally $2-300 for a whole new piece from what I have seen online.

It should be a Taylor Made. Good find jjackrash. That's much cheaper than I assumed it would be.

Thanks! I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.
