Eternabond to Seal Window?
Has anyone tried to use Eternabond tape to seal a small leak around a cabover front window on a C? I was thinking of using 2 inch black EB tape, and I want to seal off the whole window instead of just...

To add to Path1's very informative post, I had a passenger side window that I had to reseal 3 times. The basic problem was when the MFG cut the aperture for the window they did not use any tooling or NC equipment to control the opening which was over sized in the top fwd corner. Looked like someone routed it out free hand so when the window was installed only about 1/8 in of the flange was contacting the outer surface. After several mo's of travel the widow vibrated down and started to leak again in the top corner. I removed it and installed Al shims in the bottom of the aperture to keep the window from vibrating down. This worked for about 5 years and the window now has shifted back. Knowing what I know know I would measure the aperture to the window size to ensure there is enough flange for the butyl tape to seal. Secondly install shims on bottom and aft vertical side to insure window does not move if aperture is over sized.
