Wow did u cut that with scissors LOL. If i had a window like that, id take my big ol sander to it, prolly be done in 5 minutes. But i guessing u dont have a big ol sander, so id go with umm metal file like the previous sir mentioned. GOod luck post pics when ur done.
 
can't he use some rubber gormet to fit between the plexi and panel? it'll cover the flaws...

it's 'moulding'
and he could, but in general people find moulding tacky...
Break out a few files... a rough one will help you get down to the line, and smooth ones will help you deburr the edges, here's one i did that's a bit more complicated...

In varying stages of 'completeness'
but you get the gist.
 
yeah, some kind of plastic or rubber edging material would cover it nicely. Or just lots and lots of filing.
 
the widow is olny about 5" x 7" and on one of those stupid u shaped case covers, so big sander dose not really fit. im going to be doing a paint job aroud the window so i would prefer not to use rubber. i used a dermil w/ superheavy duty cut wheels. it looked straight while i was doing it. when i get home ill post a pick of the hole cover to give an idea of size. thanks for all the ideas.
 
so, like i said here some more pics to give siz because i got the impression that everyone thought it was a bigger hole than it was.
cover
the cat and remote should give size relation (the case is about 15"h x 10"d)
the next pic is a little farther back

Your photo linkage sucks as bad as your dremel skills.:) just kidding. Had to copy and paste links to view images. Perhaps it's just me.
edit, they are working now.

It really isnt as bad as it looks in the first pic above. I thought that was your whole side panel we were looking at.

Look at my worklog of the door window above. See the set of files I bought for like $10 bucks? If you dont own any files they can be found for a reasonable cost. You must make new straight lines around your window just far enough back to clear the deepest deviation (wobble). I recommend just using a tape edge as your new goal. Use the files to remove metal just up to the line.
