1078 and 1081 side light window interchange

[Asymair95]

Does anyone know if the side light windows ((#6) are interchangeable between the 1078 and 1081 air drop? The part numbers are different, but they look the same in the manual and pictures I’ve seen. I need a new one for my 1078.

Id say NO not same as number shows

I think they are different. Which one do you need?

 

[Asymair95]

I need the 1078 one, but I found a nos window for a 1081 that i was hoping would fit.

My glass guy said he can’t cut a new one because there is a slight curve in it. Best he could do is lexan or poly.

I have one somewhere here. Do you have the gasket?

 

[fuzzytoaster]

I've got glass but no gaskets, I'm looking for those as well.

 

[Asymair95]

I don’t have a gasket, but my glass guy said he could probably reuse the old one.

He just installed my new windshield today.

search in here for "side window" mention that cause I think I recall that for the side window the gasket was reported to be pretty generic.... unlike the windshield. Seem to remember that was the case.. but search to verify

 

[Suprman]

The gasket is reuseable

My glass guy had no problem getting the passenger side window out, making a cardboard template, and reinstalling the window again. Seems they’re not too bad to do if you know what you’re doing.

thinking outside the box... why replace the broken one? Maybe remove both of them and blank them out with sheet metal.... with appropriate stiffeners of course. Maybe add a vent that can be opened?
