In the manual it calls for a 1mm gap all round between transparency amd rebate.
I happen to have an exact fit and am loath to start sanding having heard of cracking etc.
Is the 1mm gap important?
Thanks will

The 1 mm gap is so that the adhesive can properly bond the sides of the window and rebate as well. Trimming is not as scary as it sounds. I used a belt sander which works pretty easily. For the final trim it helps to do it on the plane itself. Have someone (#1 son in my case) hold it so you can fit-sand-fit-sand in quick succession. Take care to also not just scuff sand the gel coat in the rebate but sand it down to the glass. There is a design anomaly whereby the plexiglas is 1 mm thickr than the rebate is deep. Causes drag, extra filling etc so try to at least minimise it this way.
