I'd like the new portal window for the door. It looks nice!

Still looking for small opening windows for the bunks. So far all I've found are ports like I had in my sailboat, but they open inward. Saw a Scamp last summer with the perfect window in the front but still checking.

Really nice!  Thanks for sharing this.  I believe I like this vertical slider even more than the round pothole.

You are so welcome, I hope it works out as well for you as it has for us.

When I called him a few years ago and told him the window was for an rPod, he said, "a what?"

Huron Sailor,
Thank you so much for the info on the vertical slider window with sreen. Today I ordered the 14x21 with the 1&1/2inch trim with a mill finish for $120 delivered. I ordered from Vintage Technologies, frankbear007@gmail.com. Their new phone # is 517-741-5000. As you mentioned in your post they are quite familar with the R POD.

If they're pop rivets they're easily drilled out and replaced ...

My 2010 R171 has the door Hinges fixed with rivets, not screws. My luck with jigsaws will make a horizontal cut difficult, a vertical cutout would probably leave us door-less. Too bad, cause I really think the window is super mod!

I've been looking for a reasonably priced window for a while now. The last price I got was $250 plus shipping. Also they wanted 3-4 weeks lead time because it had to be custom made. 

This window makes a huge difference in our 172. There's still room curtains of some sort if we opt to do that later.
