Hi all, I'm trying to decide how to finish the little gap between my side windows and the inside of the canopy.  I have used Geoff Combs adhesive and will not have a head liner.  First thing to mind is black silicon, but there are rubber butyl and urethane caulks out there as well.

What have others used?

Thx

I'm actually just putting together a video about this process.



First, I masked the inside of the windows, with about 1/4" extra exposed for the fillet. When you're bonding the windows in place, you will have some extra lord adhesive squeeze out on the inside. You can just use your fingers (in rubber gloves) to form a nice fillet. 

While I am going with a headliner, on the door windows, this is going to be my finished transition. I'll be painting the adhesive along with the rest of the inside of the door. This looks as good as any car window transition that I've seen.

I painted the inside of the cabin with Zolatone.  I have to spray the 

rivet backing strips anyway so I'll mask off the windows .... again .... 

and spray around the windows too.

Linn .... slather, sand, spray, sand ..... finishing around the outside 

of the cabin top/cowl with UV Smoothprime.

I did as Ed...used my finger to form a fillet using Weld-On 45(thicker version of 10). 



No liner. Painted interior gray. We like it al lot.



Ed, I think he said in the above post that he "used" Geoff's adhesive, so I am guessing it is cured. 



The outside joint with a thin layer of fg on the other hand has small paint cracks in some areas due to different expansion rates.

Hey guys, yes it's the Lord Adhesive I used several weeks ago.  The adhesive

is white which I don't want to see as the interior of the canopy is/will be

light grey.  So my intention is to add a decorative bead between the window

and the fibreglass.  Does anyone know if the Lord adhesive can be painted.

By the looks of it I would doubt it.



Thx,  Rick

The lord adhesive is urethane and will expect paint very nice. Just make a

real nice fillet with the lord adhesive when putting in the 

Windows and then tape-off the window right up to your bead and paint to your

desired color. It looks great. I would not use

silicone or a sealer that would peel off in time.

Thx Geoff

I never thought of painting the Lord adhesive so that will make the whole process way easier.  I never left a fillet when I installed the windows, so I'll go back and do that, and then paint the cabin top.
