Bay Window F26

Rodman · Post by **Rodman** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 8:07 pm

My F26 has a bay window in the front, Its a one piece 33-1/4 H 82-1/4 wide. I want to replace it. I was wondering if anyone knew how thick the Plexiglas is? I wanted to replace it with a sheet of ACRYLIC TRANSPARENT GLAZING Maybe a off smoke color, for a tent look. Any ideals on this? Reason I wanted to know how thick it is I want to have the new sheet ready to go in when I remove the old one.

Have you cosidered tinting the glass (easiest method) or filling in the hole and glassing over it (eliminate leaks forever)

I would not want to glass over the whole window. Its a beautiful look out of it in the galley when you are below.

Drill a hole in it and measure it you can seal up the hole untill you replace it.

just be careful drilling the hole, have had plexy shatter several times while trying to drill it.

Put tape on it and drill through that.
