Hi all. �Just thought I'd break the silence with my unique window installation method.
I decided to have the windows easily removable for replacement when the time comes.
[img]cid:ii_12d1a1f39b2644ec[/img]�
A 1/4" thick moulding is formed with fiberglass over the outside of window cutout.
[img]cid:ii_12d1a22352d74782[/img]
I used packaging tape as mould release.
[img]cid:ii_12d1a24ccf552b29[/img]
Rubber gasket applied to the back of the moulding.
[img]cid:ii_12d1a2627d9039dd[/img]
Window is set with 3M auto glass adhesive.
[img]cid:ii_12d1a27f4e7da4e9[/img]
Moulding is attached with 8/32 ss screws and ss acorn nuts.

I did basically the same thing, except I bonded the inner frame in. I can peel it out with a heat gun if I ever need to replace the window and then make a new frame pretty quickly.� I think the most time consuming part for both of us would be getting the old window out and cleaning off the 3M window adhesive.
I put some silver trim tape around the windows. I think it looks great and it saves the time of cleaning up the intersection of the window and fuselage skin.
Cheers,
Scott
