Welcome to Policies for ordering a windshield page. Below are the Policies for ordering a windshield from UPD Plastics. Please review them before ordering.

Shipping Policy:

All shields shipped must be inspected by the customer immediately, and any damages must be reported within 14 days of receipt. Failure to do so violates carriers policy, and you will not be able to recuperate your loss! Please do not let your delivery sit around without inspecting it.

Installation Policy:

UPD Plastics is not responsible for installation issues. If you are not sure how to install a windshield please hire a professional. If you break a windshield, we do not except responsibility for the actions of the installer. We are manufacturers of windshields, and installation is not part of our guarantee. The installer alone bears the responsibility for the decision to install the shield. If a shield cracks it can be due to incorrect drilling which can lead to chips which can spread in the form of cracks. A shield that cracks may be due to excessive viabration or twisting of the console while impacting waves. UPD Plastics inc. is not responsible for cracks that occur during or after a shield is installed. Please be sure that the above causes are illiminated to insure a windshields long life. If a shield does not look like it will fit correctly and it is forced into place and it cracks, UPD Plastics inc. does not cover this as it is the installers liability by forecing the shield. If a shield looks like it will not fit you should stop immediately, take pictures and email it to us for evaluation!

Measurements Policy:

UPD Plastics bears no responsibility for any windshield that does not fit, if the customer who supplied wrong measurements! Windshields fit only as well as the accuracy of the measurements that were provided. If you are not confident with your measuring skills, then we suggest you hire a professional.

Return Policy:

Windshields can only be returned by first contacting UPD Plastics and obtaining permission. UPD Plastics inc. reserves the right to make that determination. If you return a shield without our permission, it will be refused, and returned back to you at your own expense! If a windshield does not fit and it is determined by UPD Plastics that it is our fault, we will schedule the windshield to be picked up, and returned to us so it can be corrected and returned back to the customer, or a new shield will be made, which ever is determined by UPD Plastics inc..

If you want to cancel your order you must call us and do so before we begin fabrication of your shield. If you call us after we already fabricated your shield you are obligated to accept it and it cannot be canceled at that point. Giving us a form of payment constitutes a contract for us to make your shield.

Ordering a wrong shield Policy:

If you orderd a windshield, and it does not fit due to you giving us the wrong Make, Model, Year, and size of the boat, UPD Plastics is not liable for wrong information. UPD Plastics has no responsibility to except the windshield back. Please be absolutely certain you are ordering the correct windshield.

Sending us your old shield:

When you send us your old windshield we do not retun it. Due to the mold making process the old shield often times gets destroyed.

Cleaning and care of your winsdshield


Many people make the mistake of using Windex or other such cleaners on their new windshield. Never use chemicals such as Windex, RainX or even vinegar to clean a plexiglas boat windshield. These chemicals will destroy the acrylic of plasticizers that help the Plexiglas remain somewhat pliable, and it’s this elasticity that helps prevent crazing and cracking. This strictly voids the manufacturers warrantee!

Use a gentle soap, such as Meguiar’s Gel Wash, Mothers Wash’n Wax or Star brite Sea Safe Boat Wash — along with lots of water. Polish acrylic windscreens with a plastic polish, such as Mothers Marine Power Plastic, Meguiar’s PlastX or Star brite Plastic Polish Restorer. These specially formulated polishes help restore and seal in the plexiglas’ moisture and protect against UV deterioration — another threat that can shorten any windscreen’s service life.

*Sales tax will be added for Florida residents. Outside the US taxes are to be paid by the customer to their local broker!
