Restoring Antique or Vintage Boats

Do you have a 1960’s era Glastron (like the one that President Lyndon B. Johnson used to sail around in), and you want to return it to its former condition? Locating a windshield for an antique boat is not necessarily easy. But UPD Plastics carries an extensive amount of stock molds, and specializes in windshield replication and replacement.

An antique boat with a wrap-around windshield is a big ticket item for a boat enthusiasts looking to restore a boat. Unfortunately, they can be extremely difficult to locate. However, UPD specializes in restoring antique boats, and collectibles to the original specifications from when they were originally purchased.

Do you have a boat that you want to return to its original design, with its original style windshield?

Send UPD Plastics the proper measurements (see instructions on how to measure here) of your windshield, and we’ll re-create it. If you don’t believe that you can measure the windshield properly, feel free to send us the replacement windshield, and we’ll do it for you. Once received, UPD Plastics can work on replicating it.

We have thousands of windshield molds we can easily adapt to fit most boats. Once we know the measurements and shape of the shield, we’ll use a mold that is the closest to the shape you need, and then cut it to match the contour of your deck exactly!
