- How to Replace Windows in Piper Arrow: After some debate, I decided to make installing new windows into the plane part of the Piper Arrow interior renovation project. So I bought and installed 6 new side windows. I opted for 3/16" thick to replace the original 1/16" ones. This will add to the soundproofing and I also opted for a very slight gray tint and some extra UV protection.

VERY happy with the windows - great fit and very well packed for shipping.
I actually ordered from Knots2U:

The windshield (which I did not replace), and the large side windows were the same price from either, however, I did later notice that the smaller side windows are actually cheaper by ordering direct from Great Lakes Aero.
Vampliers - these are a incredible tool. Extremely handy on a project like this because of so many often old stripped screws. Invaluable!

Thank you for the great videos. I have an Archer II. I bought my windows from LP Aero, the Pilot and Copilot are 1/4" with a vent window on both. the rest are 3/16th. I had to trim the window over the baggage door, because it's about a 1/2 shorter than the pilot side rear window. I used a Milwaukee 3" metal cutting wheel to trim the windows and to round out the corners. It works great on plexiglass. Thanks again.
Sounds great. I thought about getting the front passenger window with the vent. I think it’s a great option for your passengers. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoying these videos. I have a Cherokee 6-300. These are really helpful! Thanks and God BLESS!
Really glad to hear that… thanks very much!
Hi where did you get the window from
Great Lakes Aero
www.glapinc.com
Thanks and thanks for the videos a great help
Great video, I don't see the link for the black sealant you used on the exterior, I see that they have a clear option WELD-On #40 from Great Lakes Aero, can you please advise on which sealant you used and if the clear option is the same thing? I have the window and the foam tape but I need that last component
It was something my A&P recommended and had on hand. Its a 2 part mixture. I'll text him in the morning to get the name of it for you. I'm sure that what GLA is recommending would do the job, but I do like the way the black came out, kind of outlining the window. I should have an answer for you tomorrow.
@@BlueSkyFlight thanks looking forward to it
It’s called Pro Seal.

You are apparently restoring your airplane. All o that work is really expensive and time consuming. As I said in another video, this must be a labor of love. Are you single? Some women really don't like their men to have other hobbies besides them.
I try keep a good balance between the plane, work and family.
