The bronze tint gave my boat a new look, as the original had faded to purple. The bronze is now older than the faded original was at the time of replacement, and has not faded at all in the last 20 years. Cost then was around $500 Canadian.

The same sort of shop should be able to supply the laminated safety glass you need for your front window.


I guess that St Marteen would have a shortage of glass these days.
