probably NOT Bostick 1100 ! Sure sounds more like Pro-Seal ...
I have installed Rebel windhields with Bostick 1100, and
replaced them. It is VERY low tack - and non-hardening, so ideal
for allowing Plexi to expand easily. The windshields just lifted
out easily - I was surprised how little adhesion there was to
the Bostick 1100.... left a nice smooth surface. You can get
a nice finish by wiping with a wet rag after installing, before
it cures - just like bathtub or window silicone. It cleans off nicely
this way.
Bostick 1100 is specifically recommended by the manufacturer
of the windshields. It comes in white, as well as black, and is
paintable. See: http://www.lpaero.com/accessories.html
Talk to their reps at the shows ....

butyl tape sealant there because I don't want black goo oozing out of the
junction between the front of retainer and fuse on a hot day -- where
everything will be white.
I do plan on using butyl tape sealant between the fiberglass retainer and
the windshield itself, and under the sides and top, so even if the Bostick
1100 _is_ tough to remove, it would only be a problem if I had to take the
whole front retainer off the fuse.
If I'm following this thread correctly, although the butyl rubber sealant
tape method is a "known good" material and solution, except for occasional
oozing, we don't have a lot of empirical evidence about how removable the
Bostick 1100 is. Time for some experiments.

...CORRECTION !! It was pointed out I may have the wrong culprit. I was
thinking Bostick 1100 is the stuff MAM was shipping for a while after
they stopped putting the tape in the winsdhield install kits. I have
realized Bostick was what Bob P was recommending and not what MAM was
shipping and what the owner of this aircraft confirmed he used. "The
tube that came from MAM".
