Kathi, if I may add something to your excellent suggestion -- we did this on ours. When you take the screws out of the frame to remove the glass, be sure someone is on the other side to keep the frame on that side and the glass from falling out. Also, we had a little bit of trouble getting the film around the edges to not bubble when we put the glass back in the door. What finally worked for us was to wrap the film around the other side about two inches and secure it with duct tape, silicone caulk, or other means. Then put the window back in and trim off that extra film with a sharp knife.
Also, the inside of the glass is etched and the outside is smooth. We wanted the film to be on the inside, out of the elements. To make that work we had to reverse the glass so the smooth side is on the inside.
Great idea, Kathi! Not only does it look nice, it cuts down on the glare of the sun while allowing light through. We've been very pleased with ours.
