I believe the procedure described in some detail by Bob Abbott a few posts back would work very well on your windows. He has a 32 with "frameless" windows and he did the job without the help of screws of any sort. He did a real neat job about 2-3 years ago and it's holding up great. I gave him a little advice about materials and some encouragement and I know what he did was a time consuming and tedious job but he ended up with an "as new" look and good quality seals that flex with the structure.that is why I recommend a uv resistant polyurethane adhesive like Sikaflex 295uv.

Since there are two basic and distinct types of installation: aluminum window frames, and glued-and-screwed directly to the fibreglass/gelcoat, could we please adopt some sort of identifier when providing advice or recommending products? What is appropriate for one type of installation is not necessarily appropriate or applicable to the other. Perhaps the subject line could include the words "framed window" or "frameless window" to indicate which is being discussed? Mine are glued-and-screwed frameless windows, and they do leak. The screws are like wood screws and won't stay tight. Think I may try Seal All on them. 3M UV4000 sticks very well to gelcoat, but not so much to Plexiglas. Tried using it as a bead of caulk along the top edge, but it pulled away from the Plexiglas after a couple of years. Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII Port Stanley, ON _____ No virus found in this message.
