182F Rear Windows
Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?
Hey guys,
Need to replace the two piece rear window on my 1963 182F. LP Aero or Great Lakes? Any tips on replacement?

Both good products in my opinion. Get a good helper that knows how to handle a bucking bar or rivet gun. Take your time, clean everything well before reassembling. Mask a 1/4” inch line and use B 1/2 proseal for the fillet seal on the outside. Prettty simple job, clean and meticulous will prevent future leaking. Good luck!

I've found that I need less trimming with LP. But they are both good products. For the rear windows I'd go with a darker tinted personally.

I've always liked clear windows and crystal clear.at that. I gave my friend my opinion when we did all 5 of his Maule windows. He said thanks but I'm going solar gray...
After we were done I became converted to gray forever!!
Good luck! Do those two back windows while your at it and you'll learn lots of new words
