Nils, I have not seen any info. here saying to much about windshields. The flat type is held in with screws. The bubble has a retaining strap across the top side to side. The brace that runs up from the center top of your inst. panel to the top of your windshield. With the bubble there is 2-3 inch of space as bubble is pushed out more giving a rounder look. I would say your E would have had a
flat. I do not believe Alons ever had bubbles. The hole cabin is
different.
Alons do go out more forward the top cowl is cut a bit where it meets the
windscreen {just had to say windscreen} Having a two piece window is a
pain.
Replace 5644f a few month ago. the 415 are a bit quicker to do I think did
3800h three year ago. To reader replacing Alons And M-10 1/4 inch round
closed cell rubber is the way to go. If you cannot find it locally call,
write I'll be glad to pick some up for you.
Back to 415s If installing a bubble to replace a flat they tell you to
trim
your skin in the corners by the inst. panel. I have seen this not done.
But
it causes a little trap between the sink an the glass a little unsightly
when
dirt gets into it. I have a bubble that was drilled for the screws an
installed also. I personally like the flat with small rear windows. Do
wish
3800h had been left a lone.
Somebody who has flew both flat and bubble please, what do your thing
about
the difference? Now are you more confused?
Yours, Warren H.5644f / 3800h
