Hi all, We have recently purchased an older Hartman trailer to restore. It is in good condition structurally. We do need to paint it and replace some of the plexglass that wraps around the front as it is cracked and a hole punched through it. Where can one purchase this wrap around plexiglass? Thank you! Allison

Acrylics can be bent by the application of heat. If you make a simple form of the same radius as the front of your trailer, you can then place the panel over that and apply heat from a heat gun. You could aslo use the old window as a form, if it is smooth and supported. When enough heat is evenly applied, the acyrlic will sag and form into the new shape.
Cold bending acrylics will stress the material, and it usually will fail at the areas of the fasteners after awhile.
