May 04, 2022     Rear window - (15 hours)       Category: Interior Finish

This was a fairly easy process once I went and got myself more clamps and just got past the nerves of cutting into something so expensive. The rear window is about $600 to replace so you really want to take care of it.

I ended up countersinking a little deeper than perfect for the screws that go directly on the window (the ones attached to the roll bar). These have already been oversized after tapping the screw holes so it would be difficult to start this process over. Instead I bought some tinneman washers to sit inside the countersink (just like the skin does on the sides and aft edge) and it looks very clean and actually will be more secure against cracking in the future.

Next I will be building the canopy frame and then it's onto the main canopy piece.
