Hi Gary,
Is there a name for the color of plexiglass you used? I assume it is not the bronze color you used? I am in the process of getting new windows for my C&C 99 and also like the darker color. If yu could send or post the pictures that would be appreciated. strig...@eastlink.ca <mailto:strig...@eastlink.ca> Thanks Rod From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Gary Russell via CnC-List Sent: November-18-17 5:35 PM To: C&C List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Gary Russell <captnga...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Removing companionway slider plexiglass, C&C 37/40+ Bruce, There is no way of removing the acrylic without damaging the gel coat, so lets get that out of the way, up front. I used a router, and others have used sharpened putty knifes. None work very well. I've talked with the people at Plexus and they have no suggestions, either. I used a slightly darker tint of Plexiglas, and it completely hides the gel coat damage. Even from a few inches away, you cannot see the damage. I also like the looks of the darker acrylic. It's had to see in but no problem to see out. I did all the windows on Kaylarah two years ago, and installed them with VHB tape. I am extremely happy with the results. I have no leaks. Also the VHB tape is very easy to install, while the Plexus requires all sorts of fixtures to hold the window in place while the Plexus sets up. I have posted pictures many times. If you haven't seem, I can post them again.

The sliding part is easy. However, for the fixed portion forward of slider, it is stuck down to fiberglass. I am guessing that it was originally installed with Plexus like the fixed ports on the side were done. Can anyone confirm that? As for removing the plexi, should I simply tap a few putty knives in between the plexi and the fiberglass to pop it loose, or do you have a better idea? Then seal with VHB tape, correct? This area seems to be about 1 1/2" wide by comparison to the fixed ports. Thanks for the insights!
