Hello guys I am looking for help.

In the process of replacing Lexan windshield. Original one was 2 mm and I will be going with 3 mm this time. It was flexing and vibrating in flight and developed some cracks on the sides around the rivets.

First question is about the best technique to install new windshield with the rivets, so it doesn't crack again. Maybe aluminum strip should be used on top of Lexan before riveting?

Second question is about correct glue to use to bond windshield to fabric glass cockpit on top and the bottom. What ever they were used in Czech Republic 20 years ago not available here.

I appreciate any info I can get on this one. Thank you!
