Windshield sealant

Yes, it would be crazy to use cyanoacrylate on windows, but does loctite thread locker contain that?

Apparently yes. There was a big warning on my conopies about this.

PetitCessnaVoyageur,

Is the window leaking for sure? Or is this just condensation from humidity in the cockpit overnight?

Sans aircraft at the moment :-(, United Kingdom

The picture is from last year.
The condensation was actually in the morning, and water Ingress was also possible.
That’s why we remade the seal, without PR, but with silicone (whose application has been widely illustrated here :-))
Condensation in the morning disappeared immediately.
Unfortunately, silicone has not been flexible enough, and the seal is not tight anymore (you can see visually, I will post to show). So we must do it again, and Peter’s solution could be ok.
(The associated solution is to build a hangar, what i’m Ready to do, but politically it’s critical ! I would love to see my airplane into a hangar)
