Illusion, I think I like your second arrangement best.
As far as the cracks in your acrylic window goes, I think you can pick up what's called Acrylic Glue or Acrylic Cement at your local Home Depot which might help to fix those cracks. It's more of a liquid substance (kinda like water) and basically soft-solders the areas needing to be fixed.
Here is a youtube video that I learned of this substance from..
Good luck with your side panel window and I hope everything works out.
