Well, I haven't quite gotten this far in my construction yet but I'm a bit nervous about attaching the windows to my tear.
I bought the JC whitney horizontal sliders -

The metal fitting that they come with is made for walls that are about 2" thick and I hate the way that it looks anyway even if I were to cut it down.
The windows alone are just about exactly the depth of my walls so my plan has been to just glue them on with automotive windshield adhesive and then use trim inside just to cover up the "raw" edges" around the hole. The windsheild adhesive has sounded like a good idea because you never hear of windsheilds just falling out - the only catch is that my teardrop will be all wood and I'm not exactly sure that the windsheild adhesive will stick to the wooden frame correctly.
I certainly don't want my large, heavy, dangerous, and expensive windows falling out while I'm flying down the highway. Does anyone have any suggestions? I just don't see a good way to use "mechanical" fasteners. Is there a better adhesive to use? What have other people done?
Thanks for your input.
Lindsey
PS - I've updated my build journal recently and I'm making pretty good progress on my tear. www.teardrop.myphotoalbum.com
