Ashby vs Knots 2 U glare shield PA28R200
For those who have replaced their glareshield. I picked up a Knots 2 u and it's really nice. However, I didn't install yet. It will need a lot of trimming thereby making its return voided. Not sure how that final version would turn out. I like the padding and feel of the material used. Although, It seems a bit flimsy. The Ashby looks solid but without padding since it's fiberglass, it too must be trimmed to fit. I have seen the other threads but none seem current. The installed glareshield to be replaced is the large padded eyebrow version with multiple fasteners attached to the instrument panel. There are 3 vents, I believe there should be only 2 for the 1975 Arrow 2. The 1977 Arrow 3 shows 3 vents and a hump, so that is an issue too. I will have to modify it to fit either replacement.
Does anyone have feedback and user experience with either? Regardless, I will remove the windshield to make the installation/trimming easier.
