Hi Linda, My AP used a black glue/sealant to keep mine in. Just about every other flight my windows would
pop loose and I would have have to pop them back into the rubber seal. Since he sealed them I haven't had any issues.

I think the problem may be that whoever cut out the shapes for these windows originally did not precisely follow the pattern for part of it: a little ~5" stretch along the front of one edge that gaps very slightly. 1) Has anyone created an STC (or whatever it would take) to devise a way to add the zillion-little-screws method of attachment to the large rear windows? Has anyone thought about it and decided it wouldn't work or would be a bad idea? 2) Once I get someone to install the new window plastic (last time my A&P said the process was so frustrating he threw a wrench at his hangar wall so hard it embedded), what about using clear silicone sealant or some other adhesive to attach the plastic window to the rubber rim, &/or the rubber rim to the metal of the frame?
