Are you SURE you want to do this?
I think the piece is available from Great Lakes Aero for $44 per side.
Seems like an awful lot of work (scrap?) for something you can buy. Not
many Bonanza parts available for $44.

Nope,
This is the very small third window in an old bonanza. Lots of older
bonanza's didn't have a window here and it was an option.
i have a clear one to put in, but i want to tint it. There there doesn't
need to be one there in the first place, the tinted one won't pass as
much heat/uv.
I as an owner can make a window if I want as an owner produced part and
I as an A&P can install it as such.
Adding tint to a clear plastic window isn't suggested as the tint can
craze the plastic.

It's not a compound curve just a bend along a single axis.

Hope this helps

You would have to be, um, certifiably crazy, right? I have a plexiglas
heat
strip and enjoy making curved custom pieces of all kinds. But to
expect to be
able to pass muster in an airplane for structural strength and visual
distortion and air seal and fire resistance, and, and...have I taken
the joke
bait or something?
