Front door window repair
The front door window of my 34W was damaged during hurricane Irma and was replaced by the previous owner with a piece of plexiglass
It doesn’t look very good..
Any ideas on how to go about repairing this?
I’ll try to get some pictures of it soon

Maybe a piece of Lexan? My door window has tinted Lexan, which I thought must be a repair, but according to Cayo it's original.

I believe my window has Hehr safety glass written on it.

Definitely not original. Someone’s quick “fix”.

It doesn’t look so good
I wish I could find a window to replace the original because the interior foam in the door is visible and nothing to seal the inside of the door
The bottom of the door has started to blister behind the vinyl, I think from the foam expanding from water

So it looks like you are missing the window FRAME? So the plexi simply fastens with screws from the outside?
Try giving Chuck Cayo at Cayo Repair a call. Maybe he has a new frame you could use or some suggestions.

Re: Front door window repair
I spoke with Chuck cayo regarding replacing my front door window and window frame. It will be $468.. if anyone knows of someone I could contact who might be selling parts for avions I would really appreciate it!!
In 2004 the windows sold for $100 and now they’re almost $500... I don’t know if I can afford that much right now but really need to replace this window to keep water out. So if anyone knows where I could buy one or if anyone has one they’d like to sell please contact me thank you!!

Where are you located? I've forgotten?
If the frame is repairable inserting the plexi isn't that difficult. I don't have a door window
So am guestimatimating.
