The windscreen on the Goblin came as a 3/16” thick of polycarbonate which was to thin and the rearview mirror that I put on it wobbled and vibrated in the wind. I bought another piece of 1/2” polycarbonate to help solve the this problem.
I used the original 3/16” piece as a template and used two sided double stick tape to hold them together. I cut the new 1/2” piece 1/8” larger on the bandsaw and then used my router table with a solid carbide pattern cutting bit and ran the windscreen around the bit. Polycarbonate actually cuts better than some hardwoods as there is no grain to tear out.
I sanded the edges with 4 different grits which didn’t take much as the carbide spiral bit does a great job.
Got the windscreen mounted along with a rearview camera on the bottom and a regular mirror on top of the screen and now have very little wobbly and vibrations.
