Okay so here are the first steps. I drilled out the rivets to remove the 4x upright posts that the storage compartment locks into. I then riveted the holes to close them off.

I marked out the hole I wanted using some blue masking tape, and decided on a radius I like for the corners. The cut out allowed for a 1 inch clean border for the window to seat onto. As you can see I stayed away from all the moulded and indented areas to avoid sealing problem that would of also not looked good.

I opted for a 2mm thick lexan/polycarbonate as it can take the curve and potential heat. I marked it so that is was 1" bigger all the way around.

I then drilled the mounting holes in my lexan as seen in the pic, I opted for more securing on the bottom because of the curve. I then lined up my pre-drilled and cut window with the hole in my cover so that the two lined up as intended. I drilled the centre top hole and slotted it to allow for fine adjustment. Using some temperary screw I secured the top hole, lined every thing up and nipped the nut and bolt. I then worked myself down towards the curve by drilled each hole through the cover and bolting it down as I was going.
