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