Doug, it sounds like you have the older framed windows.

You need something between the frame and the lenses, thin foam or butyl tape.

The lenses go in next then a rubber spline gets installed in the gap between 
the lens and the frame to lock everything in.

Holland Marine    http://www.hollandmarine.com/gasketpage.html     and other 
places have the correct spline.

Holland Marine recommends the butyl tape but if you live in an area with very 
hot summers the butyl may weep a bit.

When you install the spline soak it in hot soapy water to make it very pliable, 
start putting it in at the middle of the top of the window and most importantly 
really work it into the corners without stretching it.

If you stretch it pushing it into the corners it will pull out as it ages and 
shrinks.

If you say where you are located in your signature line, local listers can 
probably point you to a local source for the spline.

It’s a time consuming job but not very hard to do.

Cheers

Before the snow started today, we got the old portholes out with the leaky 
lenses.  I have new lenses from another C&C 24 owner he never used before he 
crushed the boat.

 

So, I have to get all the goup and junk off the frames, get them clean.   Then 
figure out how to install properly.  

 

We put a tarp over the cabin to keep it dry with the snow and rain.

 

Looking at what was done by the last installer, does not look correct.  Go 
figure!
