I am also interested in working on the windows on my 1969 T337D. The outer windows seem pretty good, but I have some crazing on the inner pilots side window and there is a leak between the inner and outer windows in a few spots so there are streaks in there from the occasional outdoor rainstorm the plane gets (its usually hangared) dragging dirt into that space. What is the seal arrangement between the inner and outer windows and can this be repaired by just removing the inner windows? Also can you confirm that its a simple matter to remove the inner windows, maybe post some pictures of the inner trim removed. I am thinking of replacing the inner windows and replacing the seals at the same time for my next annual "while your at it" expense.

i looked through this, but cant completely figure out the answer to my questions from the posting. Is it possible, on the 1969 T model, to remove and replace the inner windows and seals without drilling out external rivets? If it is where do people suggest getting the replacement inner windows and seals?

Basically just remove only what is necessary to remove the old window and then put the new plate in with new seal just like you removed the old plate The first photo shows the finish with the new inner glass in place with the rubber seal and window in fixed channel The second photo shows the inner glass out and the channel that secure it in place The third photo shows everything out including a small plate that is riveted

thanks for the clarification. Where did you source the seals and the new windows?

Inner windows are child's play - no riveting
In may 1969 T337D, you
1. Pull out the side trim pieces, and 2. The INNER windows just have rubber seals around them*. 3. The seals just sit in simple press-in frames. No riveting, no hassles. For turbo/double windows you want the window rubber gasket to be non-symmetric, to maximize the distance between inner and outer window. Otherwise with vibration they will rub / haze at point of contact.

awesome thanks for the help. I have a 1969 T337D so that's perfect. I am going in for annual in two weeks, assuming no major issues, I will tackle this as a "while you're at it".
