Polycarbonate on Carbon Fiber Sealant Question
I am trying to figure out the best sealant for a Lexan polycarbonate window on a carbon fiber hatch.
I am leaning towards 3Ms Window Weld Super Fast Urethane (PN#08609), and mechanically fastening it down with bolts, lock washers, and nylon nuts. I just want to ensure the sealant will be holding strong between the polycarbonate and carbon fiber, and not just the nuts and bolts.
I called 3M and this question stumped them. I believe they are putting their best scientists on the case, but I know I've seen this combination on a few RX-7s before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!

Thanks Dave - I'll give the window weld and hardware a shot and report back
I'm really hoping the seal holds strong; FALs rear polycarbonate windows are now obsolete due to a damaged mold, so a replacement will be hard to come by
Here's what I'm working with. The manufacturer put 8 mount guides on the hatch template, so the hardware install should be pretty straight forward
Good luck with your hill climb FC - maybe I'll see you at a local event
