Windscreen problem Saga Please Help

 I recently had the windscreen replaced on my Voyager Ghia by one of the bigger boat windsceen replacement companys in Perth who had been reccomened to by by a boating bisiness. It looked great with the tinded acrlic and the job looked neat tidy and strong. Only one trip out and develop three inch crack in bottom right hand corner.

 Took it back and the replaced the broken screen. No charge

Took  a boat trip out again three days later noticed another bigger crack same side. I also noticed when i was washing the boat that all six of the securing scews were leaking water into the front cabin.Took it back and was told after three days i could pick it up. When i arrived the trim arround the front inside not finished had exsesive wet silicone blob i was not happy at all. Ended up leaving the boat anther day.

Had to go back late the next day trim looked beter everthing looked good but i noticed both screens were bowed and when you push on the screen. As much as 16 ml or bit more on the right hand side as you push on it. Went and saw the manger in his office told him but not happy with the bow. He said acrilic does bow but it never had that bow in either side before i took it back. After close examination yesterday i noticed that in the sun it bows badly and then when the screen cools down it tightens up to almost an exceptable level.

 Can anybody please help me with this? I am deperate to what i should do. I dont want take it back again but also dont want to feel that i have beeen ripped off with shoddy poor workmanship and every time i look at that winscreen it sags.

Please hlep if you can give me technical alvise on this you help would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards and thanks for any help

Acrylic

Acrylic is exremely brittle so if any of the screw holes are not oversize it will crack. Some pictures would probably help to see the overall size etc. Is the integrity of the hull and structure good? Too much flexing could cause it to crack as well.
