I am having fun with this - not.
So far I managed to contact a couple of national glass chains. They are not interested in selling me glass or acrylic. Dont want to touch it. I have some messages in at some smaller local shops (waiting on call back)
I found Home Despot has Lexan - but only 0.093 thick. Same with Lowes. But Home Despot has an acrylic sheet 0.22 thick. 36" x 72" for $116.
thanks for that info! I see I can get that at Amazon for $12.87 a tube with free shipping.
There is an RV repair shop I have done business with before and they have done good work - but due to the distance, it would be quicker for me to remove the window and take to a local shop (or do it myself) rather than drive up there. Gonna give them a call anyway.
Going to keep digging.....

I try to take notice of materials used when work is being done , just to learn and compare methods that people use.
When i watched an rv mechanic replace one, he used a gasket and then 3m flow butyl.
As soon as the job was finished, he was able to water test it right away.
