Try this...90% of boat windsheild frames are built by Taylor...measure out what you have (or take it off the boat and take with you. Hit a salvage spot and find a frame that has the same aluminum excursion (shape) that's longer than yours. Buy it, and cut to fit and replace your damaged part. The glass can be remade if its FLAT by any glass shop with a cardboard pattern. You can also buy straight lengths of the frame channel from Taylor to do the same type of repair/replacement. Ask around at boat "body-shops" who do gelcoat and interior work...ask who they use for fixes like that... Good luck, Jim.
 
I always forget that the fram's where made by taylor.

Try Jones Marine Service, Richmond Va. 804-355-6250. They can be a bit "grumpy" at times but they have TONS of hard to find stuff.
They may be able to refer you if they don't have what you need. If you think they may have what you want I can check it out for you. Good luck.
