I got rid of some of my plastic windows and replaced them with laminated glass, not tempered..(big difference). Never use tempered glass on a boat..it has little comparative resistance to impact and suddenly you will have a gaping hole with thousands of pieces of glass.

I no longer have to deal with scratches or crazing..and the price difference was more than worth it. Plastic eventually looks like crap no matter what type you use or how well you cover it.

You don't see plastic windows on the bridges of ships. Those are subject to impact, bigtime.

You can get laminated glass in the thickness you need.
