I do like the larger oval window, as it looks like a great match to the factory windows

Very nice, little lady would like me to do this down the road. I just finished adding a new shelf this past evening.

Finally installed the 12" rnd window I got from Amazon last month. I took the door off and worked on a table... much easier. I'm diggin' it the most.


1-½" thick door

The door is 1 1/2" thick.  That is the size of the inner trim piece needed for a window install.

I think I like the look of the rectangular windows better than the round.  I don't trust my own abilities when it comes to installation, so the question now is, who could I find to do an install for me?
