Rear Window

Hours of sanding and shaping fiberglass doesn't look like much!  Lesson learned with flox - it is HARD to sand.  At least everything after what I've done up to this point can be done with micro, which will be easier to work with. I needed a break from dealing with flox though, so switched over to the rear window.  Because of how the canopy and rear window set, the original cut that split the canopy into two pieces has to be modified.  It took a dozen or so iterations to get it where it needs to be.

The window slides under the skin.  It's fairly tight, but I think I'll have to figure out a way to put pressure on it from the inside while the Sika cures.

I ended up making the gap between the canopy and window about 1/8".  It's not perfectly straight and even, but I decided not to obsess over it given that I'm going to be putting a fiberglass strip over it anyway.
