Brief Description:  Sealing Windscreen Bezel To Plexi - Part 1

This job wouldn't have been too bad if I hadn't somehow dropped one of the spacers (black) into the cabin area somewhere (also black) and spent waaaaaayyy too much time cussing and trying to find it all the while the silicon was starting to set up. By the time I finally gave up looking for the spacer, the silicone had started to harden around the edges. It was nearly impossible to use my finger to make a nice joint on the inside and outside edges. But, fortunately, it came out alright in the end.

I sanded the plexi down with some 220 grit sand paper before I applied the black silicone. Then I just screwed the bezel right down and the excess oozed out the sides and I wiped it up with about 1000 paper towels.
