a. The glare shield was replaced awhile back with a “Plane Plastics” unit but is rather thin and flimsy. Few months ago I reinforced it with cardboard/plastic and covered with felt…not the prettiest, but admittedly its very functional and much more solid. To prevent the felt from sagging over the top row of gauges (and contacting the hot gauge night lights!), I clamped the felt to the lip overhang with nylon screws/bolts and works out fine.
