I was under the impression that the only window failures have been the windows in the door (?).  If that is the case,  a change in the adhesive use at the work shop, at least up to this point, would have had no effect on the number of failures.  I would be interesting to know if there has been any failures in the fast build doors that have been available for the last  few years.  Has Lancair changed the type of adhesive used on the fast build door?  Have the window/doors that have failed had the (ugly) area washers on the upper portion  of the door removed or countersunk to improve the aesthetics of the door?  I would rather have the problem address rather than limiting the pressure differential.  Its sort of like having a 300 kt airplane that you only fly at 250 kts.  When Brent has the data compiled then may be a pattern will be reveled.
