Iv'e been dredding this one.. every post i've read said this was a real "Bitch" to do.. well it was time to tackle it.. the last owner fixed it with duct tape and called it good.. I think it's kinda embarrassing but no matter.. it's just me and the machine for the most part. and little by little i'm getting it square up in pretty good shap so far.. I hope.. so now the window is out.. that didn't take too much effort. just a little prying here and there.. cleaned up the rubber gasket.. the previous post were right on the money when they said the gasket will be getting soft and spongy and over all "icky".. it was..
I bought a drop from the local plastic supplier.. got a good deal with it being a coated polycarbonate. it's supposed to be resistant to scraches.. with what goes on inside these machines i know this won't be the case.. but it should last for quite a while.
I placed the old window over the top of the sheet stock and use my jigsaw to cut the shape. belt sanded the edges smooth and now ready to put it.. next comes the tricky part..
