Peter:
My old windows were probably original C&C installed with a two part
adhesive called 'Plexus'......it hardens over time which is probably why
it leaks.
To remove the old windows, I took a small, stiff putty knife and cut
approx. 1" off of the blade and then sharpened the blade with a file.
From the inside of the window, in the cabin, I gently taped the putty
knife blade with a hammer between the gelcoat and the window cutting as
I went along. Got three (3) windows out no problem. Then the 4th
window.....the top of that window was difficult and I made the mistake
of touching the bottom of the window pushing it outwards causing the top
of the window to break free taking the gelcoat with it.
Now I had another job.....replacing the gelcoat and matching the
color.....that's another story.
After the windows were removed, I used a dremel tool with a fine bit to
clean out the Plexus from the frame (side of the cabin) to accept the
new windows.
It's not rocket science but it is labor intensive to do it right.......I
think have a step by step email of the entire project somewhere I can
send you offline if you wish.
