I like the new version you've designed. It has better lines and looks more
rakish.
I would think you would want to cut the opening to match and place the
tinted panel on the inside though if you intend to reseal the works with a
rubber strip again.

Will you be beveling the edges of the new acrylic panels prior to outside
mounting to reduce water entrapment and possible leak development?
