Fellow 150-152 members,

I am seeking an Original Cessna Center Strip Cover for the rear window on a 150 L or M in excellent condition. I am not seeking an aftermarket unit, such as Vantage etc., as I already have one. The Cessna part number is 0415021-16. Texas A/S sent me a Vantage part, which I do not want. Only an original with no repairs. Thank you.

Hi Ron
Just curious what is wrong with the Vantage part ?
An original is more than 44 years old and most likely as brittle as the last bag of potato chips on the store shelf.

Ron my guess is that is going to be pretty hard to find. Anyone who has an original thats still in one piece or 2-3 for that matter owns a 150L that has had lots of love and will never give the part away or sell it.

The real truth however is the originals were made of plastic of the day back in 1972-73 ish and after this many years has turned to small bits or dust. The PMA replacements form Vantage (and others) are made from a superior plastic that will last a little longer.
