window dressing: visual acuity and insulation - good ol days of storm windows

Good old storm windows. Anybody remember putting them up and taking them down, and painting them, and cleaning them? And figuring out which one goes where? And heaving them up in the garage rafters?

Well its time to think about them again.

I want to put up temporary "storm windows" on the Safari. This would be for late fall and early spring use, to reduce condensation and improve insulation, but preserve the view.

So how do I do this? I have searched the forums, and am not sure how to proceed. Some use insulation and foam (but this cancels the view). Some use shrink wrap plastic (ewww....).

I thought about clear (or darkened) plexiglass with foam and snaps on the inside of the flip-out windows.

Has anybody tried that? Any specs on it? Curved window glass makes it a little iffy.

I don't think the dark mesh used by Lewster for hot weather is going to help in cold weather.




or should I just wait for global warming?
