mine fit perfect, still scratch free


So how did you install the new one, using the existing rubber or some other way?

this is one job i did not do myself.

there is no rubber anymore but we were able to keep the factory clips to hold the chrome trim. That was important to me because of the vintage clubs etc.

there are nut plats riveted and drilled about every 8 inches around the frame. The trim actually covers the holes entirely, came out real nice.

I have seen flat Lexan used on 914's. I works but does not compare with a molded screen. Take a look at your windshield, it does have a compound curve. Guess it depends what your looking for. They will both function the same accept that the racingshields have anti scratch and anti fog coatings that really do seem to make a difference.
