Note: Five or more padded cargo rods may be necessary to hold the windshield
into the proper position. Padded cargo rods may be placed on each corner
of the windshield and in the center of the windshield. Additional padded
cargo rods may be required to prevent the windshield from sliding down.
(k) Inspect the windshield for proper fit. The windshield must have equal amounts of space
around the perimeter of the windshield. The exterior surface of the windshield should be
flush with exterior surface of fuselage skin.
(l) Mark and trim the windshield as required to ensure a perfect fit.
CAUTION: The windshield bonding flange must never be trimmed to a thickness less
than 0.080 of an inch. The windshield bonding flange must never be less
than ½-inch wide.
Note: The windshield bonding flange should have equal amounts of space around
it. If the windshield doesn’t fit into the fuselage with equal amounts of space
around it, the windshield and/or bonding flange will need to be trimmed
accordingly.
The windshield should be flush with the exterior surface of the fuselage
skin. If the windshield cannot be made flush by adding moderate pressure
on the padded cargo rods, the thickness of the windshield bonding flange
must be trimmed accordingly. Aluminum oxide sandpaper (80-grit) on a
sanding board may be used to trim the windshield.
(m) Place the prefit windshield into position and clamp the windshield into position using pad-
ded cargo rods.
Note: Five or more padded cargo rods may be necessary to hold the windshield
into the proper position. Padded cargo rods may be placed on each corner
