I think I just reached my wits end on finding a clean solution to make the door/window transition on the interior side of the doors. Before I sent the doors flying without the airplane attached, I decided I should walk away and come inside. I'll try again tomorrow but I am not very optimistic that tomorrow will be any different than tonight.
When I initially glued the windows in, my glue oozed out onto the window in a few areas nearly 1/2". I know I'm going to have to leave it or eventually go ahead and scrape the surface and then polish the acrylic as best I can to remove the scratch.
At this point I think a fillet of micro and epoxy is the best bet. But it still isn't a nice solution to finish the window and I'm not the type of person who says "Screw it. It's good enough."
Has anyone come up with a solution to finish the window transitions on the inside of the doors?
I've flipped through the McMaster-Carr site looking at various seals and can't seem to find one that looks like a candidate.
Someone should make closeout rings. They seem pretty standard since they only need to fit Van's mold. I would have attempted to make my own before I cut the window opening out to the proper size, but now that isn't an option since the window is already installed.
