Title: Windshield and Skylight Final Install
Riveted center windshield/skylight hold-down strip. Using 2 #30 drill bits as a guide worked well. Inserted button screws in upper, center windshield hold down strip. Used loctite and clear silicone. Scuff sanded fiberglass windshield hold-down fairing and base of windshield to prep for gluing. Sanded edges to 45 degree bevel as others have done. Masked off windshield and boot cowl. Used 3M 2216 Epoxy glue as recommended. Used the 3M application gun that mixes the 2 parts as it exits the nozzle. Applied directly to windshield base and had to keep cleaning up runs that got on the boot cowl tape. You definitely need to mask off boot cowl very well as the glue runs pretty easily before setting up. Placed fiberglass fairing and clecoed in place. Taped ends to hold in place while glue sets up. Riveted in place with specified rivets. Riveted Z-strips in place also. Dipped all rivets in clear silicone as recommended. Prep is the key. Have everything laid out that you'll need. A paint stir stir worked great to scrape up the excess glue that ran onto the boot cowl masking tape.
