## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB THE CREW RECIEVED A RIGHT WINDSHIELD HEAT CAUTION MESSAGE. SPARKS AND FLAMES OCCURRED AT WHICH TIME THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THE DASH STARTED TO MELT. THE CA TURNED OFF THE WINDSHIELD HEAT AND THE FLAMES DISSAPATED. THEY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO CAK WHERE THEY LANDED SAFELY AND TAXIED THE PASSENGERS TO THE GATE. R&R RH WINDSHIELD IAW CRJ 700 AMM 56-11-01-000/400-801.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE SEALANT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD STRAP IAW CRJ700 AMM 56-11-01-000/400-801
