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.

Never an option. The a/c came with it or it didn't. many owners of
the oldies put a 3rd window kit in themselves. Great for visibility
when backing the plane up, but destroyed the classic look.

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.

Who said that? Are you speaking of the legendary owner manufactured
parts myth that has been repeated so many times that folks are proving
it to be true? Besides, if you count your time you've already spent
too much screwing with this. They're about $30.00 each from GLAP.
And since they're not that "bent" it shouldn't be too much of a
problem to make your own.


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

Hope this helps
