Has anyone installed the fiberglass window trim from Accuracy Avionics?  I am trying to decide whether to get them or not.

If you haven't installed your windows yet, it's not all that hard to 

make you're own. Gary Speceter told me how (at) Osh last year and I made 

some up for me. check here for how it did it.

Depending on how Accuracy  trimed the openings for the windows, there 

could be some variance between planes.

I sure wish I had known that little trick of Deems prior to installing 

my rear windows!  Well...at least it's not too late for the remaining 

three.  So what are they charging for the trim?  I sent them an e-mail a 

couple of weeks ago and didn't get a response.

Deems,

  

 Thats very nice.  I will try that also.

  

 By the way,  I believe the cost from Accuracy is $295 for a set.  I am not sure how many you get though.  I don't think you get the windshield fairing it might only be the two side windows in the Cabin Cover.

So Deems, when you bend the fiberglass over the window towards the 

outside. So the frame makes the window opening slightly smaller. 

What did you use to trim the "green" fiberglass flush with the outside, 

just a razor blade? 

Did you use plastic wrap as peel ply to smooth the inside?

From the looks of their site you get 5 pieces:

An old scissors (still sharp but not your significant others favorite)

is your best bet.

I just used a razor blade to trim the FG when green. It's a timing sort 

of thing,  too soon and it's gooey, too late and its' ..... too late. I 

didn't use anything  on the inside surface as my intent is to cover them 

with Tweed auto upholstery fabric, same as the headliner/ohead console..
