There is a major technical problem that is not getting the attention it deserves. If you seal the cockpit then the 'door' becomes a new pressure bulkhead. It will have to withstand a decompression either side of the seal- a whole new engineering ballgame. Blow out panels will defeat the object of seling in the first place.
