Here are a couple of photos that show the removed windshield and the trim cuts that were required when the original was installed. I don't understand why Cessna didn't just use holes here instead of cutting out slots. I wonder if they would have used holes they may have been able to eliminate the center strip (it is not really a true center post because the w/s is one piece) because the holes would secure the windshield to the cabin without the center strip. Must be a reason, Cessna is smarter than the average, right? That is the felt that is still on the edge of the w/s.
The inside center strip was really difficult to remove.
I am on Christmas Vacation, more to come next year :-)
