The 1 mm gap is so that the adhesive can properly bond the sides of the window
and rebate as well. Trimming is not as scary as it sounds. I used a belt sander
which works pretty easily. For the final trim it helps to do it on the plane
itself. Have someone (#1 son in my case) hold it so you can fit-sand-fit-sand
in quick succession. Take care to also not just scuff sand the gel coat in the
rebate but sand it down to the glass. There is a design anomaly whereby the
plexiglas is 1 mm thickr than the rebate is deep. Causes drag, extra filling
etc so try to at least minimise it this way.
