Has anyone found a source for the 5/8" supplemental armor glass, all I see are poly windows and an occasional NOS piece.
Do not prefer the poly because they scratch too easy and the OEM glass is obviously crap to begin with.
EDIT, my opinion is based on the fact that I have 2 M998s, a helmet top with 4 regular 3/8" glass and the other with 2 Supplemental armor glass (5/8") and ALL 6 are de-laminating. :)

One of the other members on this forum found that you can remove the plastic and be left with perfect looking windows.

Essentially remove the delaminating plastic from the glass and you have perfectly clear windows that will cost you nothing other than some time.

There was a whole thread on this forum regarding this procedure some time about a year ago. I think it was pre-Covid.

This is incorrect, there are two Polly laminations, one on the inside of the glass and one between two glass panes, there is no fixing the one between the two glass panes, the inside Polly lamination is subject to moistly getting scratched, all 6 of my windows are de-laminating between the glass panes.

I did find a company that can provide 1/2" and 3/8" tinted tempered glass, might go that route and never worry about de-lamination again and still far less than NOS "gunna fail" windows
