Windshield 1978 Trimate III

[JEFFREY]

I own a 1978 Trimate III and do not have a windshield for it. Is there anyone aware of a windshield or frame available? If someone owns this model would you be willing to measure your windshield so i may be able to get one made custom. Thanks. Jeffrey My e-mail is jlfcpa@ForemanFinancial.net

Jeffrey,

Give Mike a call at Checkmate. If anyone knows where you can get a NEW replacement, it will be him.

Or maybe someone will come along who wants to part with a used one.

Thanks Chris. I already tried contacting Mike and Checkmate does not have any new ones.

Not sure if the tri-mate 2 and 3 have the same windshield but if they are a I can get all the measurements and pictures you will need off mine. Shoot me a picture of your boat and where the windshield mounts so I can compare it to mine. checkedout@charter.net

GUS is the shield on yours made by Taylor? Mine says "Taylor Made" on it, as does most of the Mate shields that I've seen. But I'm not sure if they just made the glass only while someone else manufactured the frames.

The windshield was made by Taylor but they only keep plans for 8 years after the model year. I am missing the frame and glass. I am going to call Mike and ask whether the Trimate II and III have the same windshield. thanks for everyone's comments. This site is great!!!

Jeffrey,

Let us know how you make out. Finding a supplier for older windshields comes up as a topic quite a bit. So it would be nice to finally find someone who will remanufacture one.

My 1976 TriMate III closed bow has a sticker on the frame saying, "Taylor Made 489094. Do you need a windshield for a closed bow? If so, I can take some pictures of the windshield with a tape measure next to it.

Contact ships ahoy, I have a 1977 checkmate
and they found someone to make a windshield
for my boat. Good price and a nice job.
Hope this helps.

I think he is all set, this thread was started in 2003.

HA. Yup, sometimes old threads just need to be allowed to die and go to internet heaven.

(However, I bet a lot of people could use info on where to get replacement windshields).

For windshield material try this company in Florida.

Ocean Dynamics USA www.oceandynamics.com
18377 N.E. 4th Court
Miami, FL

They list many of the aluminium extrusion shapes similar to the material
and style used on my Starflite.
They will custom build you a windshield or sell you the extrusions to make/repair your style.

I know this thread is old but like Jim said, "Info" on sources for material
is always useful.
