Covering a shattered window

Some time last night two of my windows were shot at and one of them is completely gone now. What specifically should I use to cover it so that I can still see somewhat out of it while a new part is being ordered?

    clear thick plastic sheeting... you can get it at a hardware store

    if the windows are fairly simple (i.e flat side windows), then consider getting a thin piece of lexan... it'll be a lot more see-thru, and protect your interior a bit more

    A few years ago someone broke into my car, smashing my window and stealing my cd player. My insurance covered nothing, and I couldn't afford to replace the window (1979 t-bird windows are hard to come by). I got some thick and clear plastic and cut it in the shape of the window, and left a long slab of plastic on the bottom to hold it in place. I also used duct tape to make sure it doesn't slide out of it's spot. The window was broken in March 2007, and the plastic replacement is still there today. I haven't driven the car since last june (anyone in the market for a 1979 t-bird? cheap!), but I'm sure the plastic window would still hold up if I took the car out now.
