Windscreen/Skylight

Anyone have pics of their glareshield prior to install/cutting? Mine does not fit or line up to the cowl AT ALL.
None of the angles work and the lower outside edges are too short...
I cut it up to see if I could get it to work but no such luck. I do admit that mine is from 1995 and may have changed a bit.

I used the foam tape and it seems to be working. After having said that, the plane is new. I'll find out how durable this is when I start flying.

Thanks, Tom!

I have 3 years on my Model 7 and no leaks about the windscreen.
The butt ribs, aft portion of skylight, and inside door frames used the black tape with peel off backing that came with the kit. Windscreen goes inside the vertical doorframe. My windscreen goes inside the bootcowl and I used two separated layers of 3M "strip caulk" part #08578. Torquing down the fasteners will squeeze out the excess and it's easy to clean up.
Like everyone else I probably had the windscreen on and off about 30 times to get the fit right. Keep it warm...
Any more questions I'm sure you will re-post. JeffB

Thanks for that product lead. I was at Aircraft Spruce yesterday and the strip caulk they had on the shelf for months was gone and I couldn't remember what it was so that I could ask the guys at the counter. Now I know, and I can just get it at Home Depot.

Yes, thanks Jeff!
