(VPS 071204-1, 12/04/2007), Outbound message X-Antivirus-Status: Clean BUMMER - I have just discovered an inch long ding in the door window of my pressurized L-IV. It appears to have been made by some sort of power tool and it is deep enough that my fingernail can trace it. How I have missed it all this time is a real mystery...DUH Anyway, I guess its fortunate that I am still chasing pressurization leaks and have not tested the plane at 5 psi yet. My question is....can this be repaired or is the ding serious enough to require replacing the window? (Do we have any ACRYLIC experts on the list??) I have never heard of an acrylic repair but I am hoping it might be possible. Has anyone ever replaced a door window? (sounds like a monster project.) Any assistance here would really be appreciated.
