I have yet to find a solution that will work for me without damaging my window. I looked at doing the plexiglass screen/window idea but it won't work with the style of my window (at least not easily). Luckily my casement isn't that wide (less than a foot opening). So I just used the expandable exhaust vent that came with the unit and slightly forced it between the head and sill. Then I cover up the remaining couple inches with plastic (plastic cardboard type material) and white tape to secure everything. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. It seems to do the trick. I would like something better but haven't come across it yet.
