Ghetto Crusher Upgrade 20Feb17

With consistently warmer weather I not only came down from Summit for some riding with Kala (and some rainbow fishing this week) but I also was able to spend an afternoon more permanently repairing the Crusher's bear damage. The black duct tape (with 2X adhesive) was good but failed recently on the way to Summit on I70. I had to stop at TommyKnocker's and make repairs to taping. It was still very good but I do want a more lasting fix and cooler look, as I am all about the look. Today I slid the Crusher into the sunshine and 62° to apply the ultimate bonding experience. I used more acetone in prep than I should've, in order to clean the areas I'd prior gummed up max, and then I used the whole tube of adhesive. [Yeah, that's Canadian hockey tape holding the window in place - what could go wrong?] Looks great - I just need it to cure fully and then I'll test in the car wash for weather integrity.

Tests are "in" and high pressure flooding of the window seams hold out the elements! While I didn't try a crowbar, I did yank with hands pretty hard on the window and could observe no movement. I'm excited to put the Crusher back in full service - though w/out driver side rear venting - which I typically used to "dry" my waders. Oh well - I still have the passenger side and the repair was ~$12, as opposed to ~$400.
