We use aluminum extrusions in our business. It
is possible to make an extrusion in the shape
of a winshield frame, BUT... extrusion dies cost
$5-10K and then you have to bend the corners.
No one has that kind of up front money, and would
never recover as the market is too small. I have
talked to Dave at VPW about this. He found out
the same thing. Even with Chinese slave labor rates, the return on investment is not there. Sorry, I hope someone can prove this wrong with some other technology. I was thinking of carbon fiber extrusions....
