I went sailing down on the Gulf Of Mexico over the weekend, and it sure looks like a Dodger could be handy to have.

You will probably have to get one custom made.

This is a photo from Thomas Kruska, I think it may be the best looking one I've seen:

Do you have a bimini? I was considering having a "windshield" made that could be snapped onto the front of my bimini, coachroof, and coamings, turning the bimini into an extended dodger. There are a few nice examples in the Tech Tips.

It looks like the poptop can be raised when the window is removed.

Thanks to all for the great information. It sounds like I need to measure the distance between my bimini and an d cabin top, then get a professional to make a dodger that will fill in the space.

The professional should do the measuring... He'll probably make a paper pattern on the boat, and from that he'll make the windshield. (Notice the various shapes involved in the photo above.) Then we'll want pictures!
