How to recess a plastic sheet into a 600t window?

[Tommy]

Does anyone know how to make this work? I don't like the piece of plastic that came with it, it just feels and looks cheap, and hence - I am going to replace it with a plexiglass/ acrylic sheet. I just need to know how I can recess the window so that it is flush with the metal door. I have a dremel 3000 on order.

Does anyone how to do this? the peice will probably be about 3-4mm thick, so I need to cut the edge around 1mm. On a side note; to cut the piece to shape, I plan on using a Jigsaw with high teeth balde, whould this be the best way? or some other bit/ dremel method?

Cheers!

assuming your using clear plexi you wont be able to use any tools it will just scuff up the plastic maybe even crack it if your not careful im pretty sure the recess on the side of the 600t is 3mm but measure it and order the thickness you need another thing you could do is take out the old window and send it to an acyclic company to copy that piece with a higher grade plexi but i cant stress enough dont use the tools to shave the plexi down to size because it will look awful and be a waste of money hope i helped

I understand that it would make the plastic look scratched/ misty, but it would be covered by the black plastic rim which it screws into, I could send it to an acrylic company, but I get the feeling that would be pretty pricey, especially with postage etc.

yeah it would be pretty pricey unless you know someone you could actually do that the black rim would cover it but make sure you mark it out with tape so you dont go to far in

It comes with one, all I plan on doing is replacing the clear part.
