Author	Topic:   Canvas Clear Window Repair
afinelli	posted 08-14-2013 11:04 AM ET (US)         The clear plastic in one of the operable front window panels on the dodger on my Outrage 18 is torn near the top edge, close to a zipper seam. Local marine canvas repair shop wants $150 to replace the entire window panel, or $250 to replace both window panels (for cosmetic symmetry). I rarely use the dodger and am wondering if someone can recommend a patchwork approach or patching material that can be used in this application. Doesn't have to be pretty, just functional and effective. Does the price I was given for the entire replacement sound reasonable? Thanks.
