I have a 2016 gt207. The leather wrapped dash cover over the tach guage is touching the windshield. I could never clean behind it and now I noticed the leather is messed up where it touches the windshield. Is anyone else's like this?

Mine is also extremely close if not touching. Makes it a bit difficult to clean.

Mine is the same way. When I got the windows tinted they had to put the tint on the outside.

Ok thanks for the reply. I was trying to add a picture and it made another thread. Oops! I'll have to get mine tinted so I don't see that mark. Looks horrible. I like the boat but so many little issues keep popping up and I haven't had it for a year even. Not sure about the long term reliability with the craftsmanship. Still have the full warranty. Back to dealership I go.

Yeah mines a 2015 and I'm already noticing just stupid little things. Screws coming loose, a piece came off the dash pad, and the windshield screws we're loose and needed tightened. Might be your problem as well. Probably the same little things with most boats but once again glastron is more of the basic compared to scarab or chapperal. Other then that for what I payed I'm happy with my boat.

One thing I forgot that really annoys me is they didn't put the drain plugs low enough in the ski locker so water only drains so far and then puddles in the ski locker. Any other glastron owners have this issue?

Yeah same here. Have to soak it up with a towel. Poor design!

Same thing here about removing water from center ski storage. Also water gets under the chrome cup holders next to the driver and passenger seats and have to remove water with towel.

Where are you guys getting parts for your glastron boats? I recently bought a 14 gts and didn't realize the intake grate was missing/ ripped off. Trying to find a replacement has been a nightmare. Also I need one of the bolts that goes in the wake tower in the spot where it hinges to fold down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
