(n) Remove a small amount (approximately 2-inches wide) of protective coating from around
edge of windshield.
(o) Install a continuous piece of fine line tape (pinstripe tape) around the edge of the wind-
shield (next to the bonding flange). The fine line tape should be adhered to the windshield
with equal amounts of space between the fine line tape on the fuselage and the fine line
tape on the windshield.
(p) Working in one direction on the windshield, place 2-inch masking tape on top of the inner
edge (the edge furthest away from the bonding flange) of the fine line tape.
(q) Using a straight edge, make several alignment marks around the edges of the masking
tape on the fuselage to the masking tape on the windshield.
Note: These alignment marks will be used to ensure that the windshield will be
installed into the exact location in which it was during prefit.
(r) Carefully remove windshield from fuselage.
(s) Using aluminum oxide 80-grit paper, abrade the bonding flange of the windshield in a ran-
dom pattern. Remove all surface gloss.
(t) Remove contaminates from the windshield bonding flange and the immediate work area
using a vacuum and a clean brush attachment.
CAUTION: Wax or grease pencil markings on any part are not allowed. Any such mark-
ings inadvertently occurring must be removed prior to application of primer.
All surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and dried before application of
primer.
Immediately prior to applying any primer on the windshield bonding flange,
solvent clean the flange with isopropyl alcohol. When handling cleaned sur-
faces, wear clean cotton gloves to prevent surface contamination. Surfaces
must be re-cleaned in the event of contamination.
Note: Fold cloth in such a manner to eliminate raw edges to reduce the possibility
of lint. Always clean an area larger than the application area.
(u) Ensure that all surfaces adjacent to the windshield bonding flange are masked to prevent
them from coming into contact with any primer or sealant.
CAUTION: Do not apply primer to the composite bonding surface.
(v) Using isopropyl alcohol, solvent clean the bonding flange in the fuselage.
(w) Verify all required materials are present and all parts have been prepared and pre-fit.
(x) Wearing clean gloves, lightly dampen a cloth with primer. Fold the cloth in such a manner
to eliminate raw edges to reduce the possibility of lint.
(y) Apply primer to the acrylic bonding flange. Wipe the cloth over the prepared area. Apply
as little primer as possible while still wetting the entire surface.
CAUTION: Keep primed area clean and free from contaminates while primer is drying.
Seal windshield as soon as practical after primer drying period to minimize
contamination.
(z) Allow the primer to dry for thirty to sixty minutes.
