After decades, those emergency window seals
are crushed and likely not doing such a great job. This is a great project for
annual or anytime you find the window seals cracked, leaking or creating wind
noise in the cabin.
Emergency
Window Seal Pirep
When I was doing my research I found great info on door seal installation but
not so much about the rear seat, emergency exit windows. While I'm going to do
them all, the emergency exits are top priority because years ago someone used an
automotive type double sided seal that stuck the windows in place. Stuck
emergency windows are not ideal and I'm embarrassed i didn't realize it earlier.
Guy's instructions call for removing the old adhesive and doing so is a slow
process. I found the best progress was made by starting with a razor blade to
shave off as much old adhesive as I could then I used a 1/2" strip of Scotch-Brite
with a few drops of Goo-Gone that I got from Home Depot. It's still slow but
patience pays. As you can probably tell from my pictures, I removed the windows
to make access easier and because there is seal material stuck on the window
side. (Most installations shouldn't have this issue if the correct seals were
always used.)
Oh, one other tip. Mixing the two part adhesive that Guy includes is done at
the ratio of 1oz adhesive to 1 drop accelerant (PS: Guys little bottle of clear
silicone cement is 2 ounces). I thought a small plastic food
service type container would be perfect for mixing small batches. Not so, 30
seconds after combining them the bottom of my container dropped out leaving me
with a sticky mess on the hangar floor. Guy suggested a clean cut Coke can and
that proved to work perfectly. Mixing the glue and applying it to both surfaces
was done with a disposable acid brush also from Home Depot.
