Hi Terry,   Are you speculating there are no supports within the door cavity?  Reason I'm asking is I don't want to start cutting only to find I've ruined the door


No, I was just pointing out that the door can't be supporting anything above it.  So cutting a hole in it wouldn't hurt anything.  My guess would be that there is 2 supports going sideways within the door.  That would make 3 cavities in the door.  If the skin on the inside part of the door could be removed a lot of questions could be answered.

Looks like a standard RV door to me, we might be able to track down the window that is in the other ones I've seen.

I wonder if anyone has looked into doing this.  The windows in RVs do not seem to be all that complex to install.  The two biggest obstacles would seem to be; finding the right size of window, and then, mustering the courage to saw a window sized hole in one's door.

It would be so nice to have a window in the door of the 172's to add some light into the pod.  To be able to open it would be nice too.
