Any info or suggestions appreciated!! :-)
The dewshield appears to be made from some sort of thin plastic and is held in place with velcro and holes in the material which fit over the spider adjustment knobs at the front of the tube.

I got the scope off David (Dave47tuc) so PM him for more info on the actual material and construction methods he used.

Good luck!
