Vandals have broken 3 windows on the Rainbow Kids Bus.
How can I repair them so they're legal on the road?

Find replacement originals somewhere?


Get a window firm to cut and fit laminate glass?
Make hardboard templates and take them to a glass maker?
plastic?

any help or other ideas please...

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

Toughen glass can't be cut. It has to be cut first and toughened afterwards
by heating and chilling.

Laminated glass can be cut but you have to score both sides.
