The window is asymmetric to accommodate a compartment that opens (hinged door) to the driver's side of the shell where I'll keep an awning. There's going to be an opening to the side of the window where the awning bag slides into the rail along the back of the compartment.

I was out of town all weekend and way tired after work yesterday, but today or tomorrow I'll be getting some of the major external fiberglass covering done. If I lay the fiberglass cloth across the shell from side to side, rather than along it's length or diagonally, I can just cover it and overlap the ends with three widths of the fabric I'm using. This is the route I'll go. If I do end up using a second layer on the outside, I might switch to a diagonal orientation.
