does anyone know a source where to purchase the rubber moulding that holds the plexyglass in place, mine has shrunk leaving a 11/2 gap and is starting to crack.
thank you - rick

Rick,

Cessna has the item... refer to your Parts Manual for the Cabin Interior parts. Once you have the part numbers, you should be able to look it up on-line at these two sources:

I recall this item being fairly reasonable.

I recently got some from Browns Aircraft Supply in Jacksonville (904)396-6655. He has S2171-1 which does most of the windows and the price was pretty good in comparison to everyone else.

On the door windows, you need S2171-1 plus the S2172-1 molding, which I have not been able to located easily. Please let me know if you find a source for it.

If anyone has figued out a good way of joining the ends, please let me know. Otherwise the job is not as good as I woudl like to see it.

I’m resurrecting this 17 year old thread because I need this seal.

The Cessna part number is S2172-1, but it was superseded by part number R581567, ... which is no longer available.

Does anyone know of a supplier for this window seal?

If not, how about another sponge rubber seal that has a profile similar enough to work?

Thanks,

Rick

I just had my pilot side windows and door window replaced at my annual and my mechanic got the plastic and the seals at Great Lakes Aero.

Thanks Tom, is your plane a P model??

[TomM]

No it is not. They may still have stuff for the pressurized model, so I would check them out. The other company that people get windows from is LP Aero Plastics.
