You would not believe the literature describing the advantages of the "Safety Vue Windows!" I have the original brochures that "show-off" the new windows. It shows a picture of a man standing on the glass, while it is on the ground! It is suppoesed to be very strong, and impact resistant! It probably is, but I'm not gonna stand on it! <g> >From what I've heard, some windows just fall out, because of bad caulking and years of weather and abuse or non-maintenance performed by owners. I would guess the only thing is to keep it clean! Others have told me their's had broken by walking into it. This is true especially with the glass closest to the entry door. I think it is a twisting movement that would snap it. I think I read here that Terry Tyler hangs a ribbon, or other type warning marker, on his windows. I have done the same. I only open my doorway window a little! The front window...well, that's a whole different story on what might happen. Needless to say, a good looking tinted piece of Lexan would probably make more sense than a glass pane any day, but if originality is the issue...'nuff said! I have found some original glass for the front, and I also found the original front window rock guard, but I know that guard isn't so good, or else we would all have them! They dry rot, or become brittle after years of...whatever, I'm no chemist..but they break! Rock shields work, but for the curved glass, I don't know how you would apply it..but keep at it!
