Riviting in the center cabin skylight rib

[cgruby]

Mine is riveted at each end. With a foam strip and the Lexan sitting on top it doesn't seem flimsy to me.

I am just in the process of fitting the windshield and don't have the foam strip on top of the rib. I suppose that would provide some lateral rigidity.

Thanks,

My take on the skylight rib is pretty much to prevent vibration on the skylight from the propeller pulses. I used some weatherstrip foam on top of the rib in a color to complement the overall scheme. My primary motivation was to prevent wear scars on the skylight that would occur with movement between the rib and Lexan - in my case.
