Edd:
If your windows have frames and are fastened with screws and/or nuts &
bolts, butyl tape would work just fine. I have no experience with the
3M tape.
If your windows are like mine and sit flush with the cabin top with a
curve, I don't think butyl tape won't hold them in place.
I replaced my windows are a few years back and used Sika 295 UV with the
primer......no problems to date, happy with the Sika product.

All,
Has anyone tried using Butyl Tape or that high-strength 3M tape to
fasten their windows (without drilling holes for screws)?
I just spoke with a 3M rep, who says their 5952 tape would do the job
very well.

I'm worried about the curve, cracking and leaks, of course.
Yeah yeah, I know. Another C&C Windows topic. Sue me.
All the best,
