Inadvertently broke a window

We purchased a complete set of Cee Bailey in gray tint in 2023. These are 0.125" thk. We are just now installing our windows and after trimming all the windows but before installing any, I accidentally dropped the left door window and the corner broke off. I'm going to call LPAero tomorrow (who purchased CB), but I'm not sure if I can get a direct replacement from them. All of their RV-10 windows are listed as 0.187 thk.

Would an RV-10 window joggle handle a 0.187" thk. window using a sika or silpruf approach? We were planning to use sika.

And, I have no idea if their Smoke Grey would match the Cee Bailey Grey. The spec label for this particular window is shown below.

Talked to LPAero today. I'm going to send them a sample of the broken window. They are going to match the tint and produce a window out of 0.125" thk. stock.

Note that on their website, they list RV-10 windows being 0.187 thk. The person at LPAero said that was incorrect. They make standard windows out of 0.150" thk. stock.
