What was found

(CAN) DURING THE PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM TEST AIR LEAKAGE WAS NOTED COMING FROM AROUND THE MAIN WINDSCREENS. UPON REMOVAL OF THE WINDSCREEN THE SEAL THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE WINDSCREEN WAS FOUND TO BE DELAMINATING. NO FIELD REPAIR IS AVAILABLE SO THE WINDSCREEN WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT.
