Abstract
A bulletproof window, unitary casement for the window and method for replacing and containing a sheet of bulletproof glass within the casement. The casement securely retains the bulletproof glass therewithin via an ‘L’-shaped cover plate secured over the bulletproof glass within the casement. The casement further comprises reliefs to accommodate the bolt heads that secure the cover plate to a hinge, such as on a vehicle door. The corners of the casement are relieved to allow use of a bulletproof glass sheet without the need to form a radius at the corners of the bulletproof glass sheet.
