Fabricated 3 of the 5 window trim rings. I got this process from Gary Specteter @ OSH this year. You begin by putting packaging |
|
tape (so fiberglass won't stick to it) around all of the window frames. then you put a layup of light weight fiberglass cloth (in my |
|
case I used 3 plys of 3 oz e glass) around the window frame. when the glass is beginning to set up, you bend it over the edge of |
|
the window, then before it completely hardens while it is still smoewhat 'green' you trim it flush with the outside. This leaves a |
|
right angle when the glass cures. when fully cured you trim the pieces to fit. Th elittle right angle serves to provide a lip that you |
|
can wrap your headliner fabric around and yeilds a very nice clean finish. After covering the trim rings in the headliner fabric, you |
|
can glue/velcro or otherwise attach them to the window for a professional finished look. ..... At least that's the plan. I got the |
|
windshield and both rear windows complete today. It will take another session to finish the door windows. |
