Glareshield Overhaul?

I was happy with the original (when the covering was new). I liked the
fact that it was solid and could be grabbed as a handhold.

I'm surprised you think it's a good idea to use it as a handhold. Most
of the glareshield installations I'm familiar with are just attached
with a few flimsy screws.
