So Harry, just to confirm, the windows are secured in the cabin top by just the 3M tape and then they are caulked with Sika 395. No fasteners whatsoever and no major installation bracing or clamping? How long have they been in place? Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS. On 2013-03-06, at 3

I would second Bob's comments. I used buytl tape on aluminum framed windows on the Catalina I used to own and would never use anything else in that type of application. However, the reason it works so well is that it is not adhesive, so you can get the windows off again to adjust the seal if n
