I'm just about to apply the leather glareshield covering material provided in my Sonex upholstery kit, prior to installing the windshield.
The Leather seems to be wide enough to go right to the edge of the glareshield and then up the inside the side panels a little. But I guess that the leather should not be between the inside of the aluminium side panel and the outside of the transparent windshield itself. So I am asking those of you that have used that leather glareshield covering material where you terminated it.
Did you trim it at the intersection of the glareshield and the side panel, so the windscreen rested on it when installed?
Or did you trim the leather to where you thought the inside of the windscreen would come?
Or did you leave the leather untrimmed and let it come up the inside of the windscreen, loosely covering the nuts and bolts with which the windscreen is installed?
Or is there some other solution?
