My windows have 4 screws along the top and 4 along the bottom. No leaks
since around 1999 when the screws were added. :-)

I posted a photo of one side where you can see the new windows. it’s
the side that was completely dug out to replace rotten balsa core
along the genoa track. 12’ by 1’ section of deck was out. One of the
contributors to rotten balsa were those windows.

I agree with Alan; more screws are just going to make the leak worse.
Get rid of the screws, fill the holes and glue the window with Sika,
or Dow795 or VHB tape.
