Bubble Windows on a 170'B?

[Green Bean]

I have had the rear bubble windows for 10 years. They have no interference with the flap and have about 1/4 inch clearance with full flaps. One great feature in addition to shoulder room for the rear seat passenger, is that they don't vibrate in flight like the straight window.[img]IMG_0201.JPG

For those that are contemplating this "Rear window" installation, I have a letter from my PMI that states this modification is a minor alteration and only requires you adhere to AC 43.13 and Cessna manual. Walha Log book entry

Wish some one would explain how to attach pictures to these messages. It appears to be more of a problem as not many photos are added. Maybe a note under one of the headings sections.

Attached is a aft left looking forward of my rear and front left bubble windows. If this works I will try another picture with the flaps down (full 40°) to show the clearance.

I added the front 4 inch bubble windows to my 170A. If you're tall, make sure that you consider where your head is in comparison with the windows. I have to scrunch down in my seat to take advantage of the bubble. Regardless of not being able to put my head in the bubble, the windows are good for taking photos and enjoyed by the passengers. They make for a nice arm rest too.
