[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 185391, member: 315"] you can install a piece of plexi glass and you won't know the difference. I did it on my curved window. buy a piece at menards that is a little bigger than the whole opening. then clamp the end of the glass top and bottom by the middle door. Then clamp on top midway between there and where the curve starts. Then get a couple heat guns and get a guy on the outside and one on the inside. Heat at the start of the curve and as you heat it it'll curve and you just work your way around the curve. You can clamp along the top as you go if you need to. Once it's all bent to shape, take a dry erase marker and trace the opening onto the glass. Then determine how deep the glass sits in the weather stripping and cut it out that much beyond the marks. you can cut it with a jig saw with a metal blade in it. Cut about medium speed if you have a variable speed saw. Then peel off the protective coating and take the frame apart and install it. Works like a champ. sounds harder than it is. you'll have to measure the opening in the rubber to determine the thickness. Mine was 3/16 I think. [/QUOTE]
