I may be purchasing a used TT. One of the windows were broken in a windstorm that happened a few days ago. The current owner has taped up the damaged window so that it does not leak.If I get the trailer, I want to fix it slightly more permanent for the winter. What could I do? It is a rounded window.In the spring, I will get a new window for it.

Replace it now...then you don't have to worry about winter and intrusion thru a taped up, tarped up, plastic sheet cover, duct tape hap-hazard mickey mouse repairWater is an RV Killer.....avoid at ALL COSTS

Look at it and see if you can remove the broken window frame. Then find a local glass shop and see if they will make a template and replace the glass for you. I've had to do it twice on my emergency exit window. It wasn't cheap, but I got it repaired.

Tape it up with 4 mil plastic. That will last the Winter.

For temp. repair i would take window out. Take it to glass shop and have Plexiglas installed in the frame for winter. It will scratch easy but will hold up for awhile. I did that on our last truck topper side window used tinted Plexiglas.
