I have never flown with a window open to date as I fear a rear window separation. It’s sad CubCrafters has made no effort to afford us the cub experience we all desire which is door and windows open.
I sometimes runup with both windows open and have been hearing a rattling sound. I thought it was just my window rattling on the latch. Today after flying I did a post flight runup after replacing my right ignition spark plug wires due to coil pack failures and notice the left aft window forward edge not secure and the cause of the rattle.
What are suggested options to secure with confidence? I see the only thing holding it is a thin strip of black double side adhesive tape.
I’m considering a bead of Sikaflex 221 black. I’m open to suggestions.
