I am doing a full-Sikaflex tip-up and I am fitting the aft window. Just behind the roll-bar on the right side I have a length of about 8 inches where the edge of the top skin does not lie flat against the plexi. The apex of the bulge is about 1/8 off the plexi. Elsewhere along this interface, there is perfect contact
I happen to have an edge shrinker that I have never used but the skin is already riveted on (other than along the longerons forward of the baggage bulkhead where you see the clecos) so it would have to be used 'freehand' and I doubt if there is any way enough force could be applied.
I have also considered relaxing the skin by deliberately elongating the holes in the lower skin and longeron and then using oops rivets but that feels like desperation and anyway, the two countersunk screws into the roll-bar would still be off.
Has anybody else seen this and how did you tackle it?
