Our covers are only on in the winter so tend to avoid the harsh summer sun, therefore the plastic window section of the covers are still flexible . However they are pretty grubby with ”red rain” and general dirt.

Any tips to clean these and make them transparent rather than barely translucent ...... ?
 
This is something that I always battled with over the years...until I found out that most canvas canopy makers will replace your windows for new for about £30 each. Pleasantly surprised.
 
You can get a tube of cleaner from a chandlery. It does work quite well, provides nourishment for the clear plastic and claims it can Polish out scratches.
Around £18.
 
I hate the clear plastic windows with a passion as it really diminishes what i can see. I really like the idea of thin but very strong lexan (polycarbonate) but being rigid would pose a big problem when i want to lower my spray hood...
