Please describe the project specifications
Fabricate and install an EZ2CY enclosure.
What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?
The customer wanted a tight bridge enclosure that would remain as water-resistant as possible while maintaining crystal clear optic.
What is unique or complex about the project?
The enclosure had to have 40 feet of track installed directly into the windshield cap, which requires drilling and tapping into the windshield cap carefully, as not to damage the windshield. There is a screw every 6 inches.
The bridge has a retractable soft top which means the panels could not be hinged to the ceiling. To enable opening the side panels, a double track had to be installed so that the side panels could slide, rather than lift.
What were the results of the project?
Customer has a fully-functional enclosure that allows use of the bridge in the most inclement weather.
