OK - I looked into the different films, none of them get good reviews for DIY, and I suspect that installing them would destroy what's left of the window. I'm going to buy a sheet of UV resistant Lexan to cover it with. Thanks for the suggestions. On Fri, May 7, 2021 at 1:40 PM Allan Streib via

Check for security film also. Not sure how it's different (maybe same thing), but I've recently read about some film you can put on your windows that supposedly makes them much harder for an intruder to break through. I believe 3M makes it, among others. Allan Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes

If the window is shattered safety glass, another strong wind or impact of some sort will cause it to shatter completely into small pieces. Like a car side window does in a wreck. Then, the storm that brought the wind will rain inside your house. Get the window replaced with a new piece of glass.

There is plastic “wrap” stuff used here for hurricane protection. Basically thin transparent sheet plastic that is put on the glass to minimize shattering and provide some strength. That would probably work. --FT Sent from iPhone > On May 6, 2021, at 11:50 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: >
