Hello TeamAudio.
Your best bet is to make it out of three peaces. Do the front center peace flat and the two outside peace at an angle. That would be the easyist way. You have a small car so the window frame is going to be small so you shouldnt have any chance of flexing as long as your using a thick material.

Hello

You might contact Brantley Waites - WaitesAudio@aol.com - He used to sell prefab windshields. He may have a source to help you or give you more suggestions.

Our experience in windshields is limited to one bronco. We reconstructed the entire front with steel and then used loads of bondo to blend it into the basic structure of the bronco.

Good luck.

Remember that in car audio, bondo, fiberglass, wood putty, and a good sander are your friend....
