I made two of them for each sliding window out of 1/8" Plexiglas.
I do not have a digital camera but it looks something like this

Bottom with drip edge

I used a heat gun to soften the Plexiglas and used a steel edge ruler to
bend it at the right angles. The top and bottom part fit in the grooves of
the window with slight tension. The drip edge makes sure that the rain does
not go in the window groove.
I made a prototype out of cardboard first.
I actually made the cover slightly wider than the window opening.

Front View
