What I did was to use a small round over bit in the router to correct that situation.
I wanted just a small round corner, so I used a 1/8" rounding router bit.
This is the bit I used, and it created just a small round corner.
The plywood here is only 1/2 inch thick, so you can see the round corner is not very large.

Finally! Managed to make it to the motorhome today.
If you remember, I was working on the shelf below the rear window.
One of the things to watch out for is the corners of said shelf. Anytime wood has a square corner, it is very easy for the wood to be chipped off.
The solution is to round off the corner just a little bit. It will take a much better beating without chipping, than a square corner.

The shelf will also fold down, out of the way when not in use, which will be most of the time.
I am also adding a shelf at the rear, under the window. That is roughly 12 x 24 and the wife can use that for holding her makeup and hair items while "puttin' on her "face", as she says.
Test fitting the rear window slide again. That is 1/2" plywood about 20 x 24, give or take a little bit. With the slides waxed, I can open and close the cover with my little finger without trouble. Takes little effort to move it.
I also widened the slot on the other side where the rear window cover will slide back and forth. Made that a touch over 1".
Not sure if you can see the extra saw cut there or not. Used my portable Ryobi to make the cut.

Finally had some time to work today. First step was to add some sealant in the corners of the shelving area that will be in the "bath" area - that's what I call the last 3.5 ft of the rear of the motorhome. The actual bath area is on the drivers side, and this is on the passenger side.
I wanted to seal the corners, just in case some extra moisture from the shower area migrates over to the other side, hence the extra seal. This area will also get some Por 15 to help keep moisture from getting into the plywood.
