Do you have any pictures? I don't think a hair dryer would get hot enough to help. A heat gun would probably work better, but you need to preheat the whole piece a bit, then work on the area you need to shape. It would also help to have something to rest the heated plastic on that has the approximate radius you are trying to achieve, till it cools. If you have an old screen, it might be worth practicing your technique. Cutting and trimming is to be expected. All the TT windscreens I've ever fitted are usually longer than the fiberglass. I use an angled die grinder with a 2 inch disc. You can clean the result with a sanding block by hand to get a nicely deburred edge. Another bit of advice, do not remove the protective paper till you are done. If there is none, I like to use green painters masking tape. If you screw up, and get a scratch, you can polish light scratches out. Use a drill bit made for plexiglass. When I mount my windscreens I drill 1/8 inch holes and use Clecos to hold the screen to the fiberglass. These are just some suggestion. Sorry if I went a little overboard! We probably have a plexiglass expert on this Forum! Lou
