Listers,
Been meaning to throw in what I did for my windshield. I was going through our local auto windshield replacement business and asked what they had for this type of application. They gave me two different sizes of rubber trim they use to seat the side windows in vehicles like vans.
Took it home and discovered that it would work very well. The one channel groove even had a pre applied sealant/glue so all I did was push the seal over the bottom edges and then put it in place. I then ran a bead of rtv around the bottom edge to seal that. I will note that the angle wasn't exactly right on the extreme bottom edge back towards the door but a little extra rtv took care of that.
Don't have any dedicated pics but could take some if you want.
Anybody interested drop me a note off line and I'll try to get the source codes for you to take to your local shop.
Also there were some questions about trim for the wing roots. I went to my friendly supply house J.C.. Whitney and ordered up a roll of automotive type trim in black. This stuff has a metal "clamping liner" that holds very well. I also put it on the top panel on my dash and around the trim openings between the dorsal fairing and the front of the horizontal stabilizer. All worked well. Btw I was a little dubious about using this in an "outside" application so left a piece hanging in the Idaho sun and winter for a year with no deterioration.
Still grinnin!!!
