MkII Fixed Portlight Replacement

[Noah]

The factory window (at least on MKI) had a bevel on the edge, to allow for more sealant "sticking area". Something to be considered if you are cutting your own acrylic. Also, the OEM windows were/are acrylic not polycarbonate.

Thanks Eric, I will check the beveled edge of my portlight to make sure I have enough bonding area with the VHB tape.  I like this idea better than a huge bed of Dowsil 795.

Though I haven't done mine yet, I have pump up suction cups (4x) that have a camera 1/4-20 thread in the center.  The plan is to build some cleats that span the opening and use a wing nut and all thread to pull the windows in place so the sealant can cure.  The only issue is that I only have 4 so it will be a one at a time affair.
