## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING PIPER SB 984, INSPECTION OF FUSELAGE SIDE WINDOWS, FOUND ALL WINDOWS HAD CRACKS IDENTIFIED IN SB 984. ALL BUT 3 WERE BEYOND LIMITS.  ALL COCKPIT AND SIDE WINDOWS WERE REPLACED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAIILABLE.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS C/W MANDATORY SB 984 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  CRACKS ARE NOT VISIBLE WITHOUT PROPER INSPECTION TOOL CALLED OUT IN SERVICE BULLETIN.
