If the window is shattered safety glass, another strong wind or impact of some sort will cause it to shatter completely into small pieces. Like a car side window does in a wreck. Then, the storm that brought the wind will rain inside your house. Get the window replaced with a new piece of glass.

There is plastic “wrap” stuff used here for hurricane protection. Basically thin transparent sheet plastic that is put on the glass to minimize shattering and provide some strength. That would probably work. --FT Sent from iPhone > On May 6, 2021, at 11:50 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: >
