I have a 1975 33 - I and I did the following: I went to a window building place and went through their samples of spline and found one that fit perfectly (ie, it closely matched the old spline thickness). I then went to Amazon and ordered the shortest roll I could get (100 ft). Here is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G0Y5EA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .
The plexiglass was in good shape so I used VHB 2 sided neoprene tape to install the windows. Then I used a popsicle stick to force the spline into the groove between the frame and the plexi. Note: For the spline mentioned above to work, you have to use the appropriate thickness VHB tape (less than 1/8" total thickness) and your plexiglass or lexan or whatever needs to be surprisingly thin -- I don't have the measurement handy, but I'd bet that my plexiglass is about 1/8" thick. I did mine about 10 years ago and they still don't leak On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 3:35 PM Matthew L.
