Nov 19, 2023     Door Window Repair - (4 hours)       Category: Fuselage
Got my glass ordered from Kitfox and expected it to take a bit before I received it. Guess not. Only took a week and a half from when I ordered it to when I got it. So it was time to take the cracked glass off the door frame and that turned out to be a real bear. That VHB tape really sticks. Uses .030 safety wire to cut through the tape between the frame and the glass. That part was pretty easy. Removing the remaining tape from the frame was the hard part. Rubbed the old mastic really hard with my thumbs and for the most part, it peeled off the frame. Where it didn't, I used acetone to get that off. So now I am ready to fit the new glass to the door frame and the fuselage opening. Think it will be easier to do for the third time?
