pod door window

Also, beside taping the cut area, cut from the inside. Mark and cut to the inside of the line as it is easier to then use a rotary rasp or file to enlarge the opening to the final size than to try to fill an opening that is too large. Use a fine-tooth blade and if you are using a jigsaw, make double sure the foot plate is tightly locked to keep the blade vertical. Take special care on the corners to go slow and make sure the blade stays vertical.

As for the darkness, it is not quite as dark as the other windows on ours but it is close. I did make a pair of curtains and use the very small cafe curtain holders (small round rods at top and bottom of the window to hold them. As you say, it is not as convenient, and I would prefer to have something like is on the other windows that could be lifted/lowered. It might be considered redundant to keep the screen door since the window has a screen, but there are times when it is nice to open the outside door and just have the screen there.

If you would consider another option, then consider putting in either the Lippert Thin Shade or the AP Products Thin Shade. Neither one would open, but you do have a convenient privacy option.

We used the same window. the installation was easy and the parts were well made.

I would suggest that you tape the area on the outside and inside of the door where the window will be installed, then trace the cut out  before you actually cut the hole. the tape will hlp keep the edges smooth and not leave jagged edges. Measure twice, cut once
