Hello,

I've been searching high and low but cannot find a company that cuts and sells AS2080 window glass (flat, not curved) about 66 x 40 cm for my wheelhouse window. Mine has a crack and I want to replace it before the next bigger trip.

Anyone knows a local source?

TIA,
heinz

Why not use some 6mm laminate . Cut to size . No problem ?

Mainly because the other window is glass, too. The side windows are laminate (and pretty crazed).

You miss understand scuba . 6mm lam ,is glass . go see you local glazier. Just give him a pattern and they should be able to cut the laminated glass for you on the spot .
Its classed as safety glass . It won't shatter ,just cracks ,but stays in tact .

Its ts two layers of float glass glued together ....... Good stuff .

It's really 6.38 mm The .38 is the glue / film that bonds it together ....
