I replaced mine about 7 or 8 years ago. I used some
special...expensive...glue with a special gun to administer it. Held for
quite a while
but the back end where the window flexes(?), curves maybe better, most
has popped out. So, I guess it's time to do it all again. I'll look for
your post in the archive
to see if there is anything special with the sika product. I think I
need a little more clamp pressure on the back... I don't have access to the
loverly fancy gun for the fancy glue...so was looking for another product.
Gonna be a bit before I get to that project. The sole is finally going
back into place. Windows next then teak and holy sole to make it
all look pretty again.

Due to leaks in the windows, and no matter what I tried, the leaks
didn't stop until we replaced the windows. I took the old windows to
the retailer who produced new acrylic windows and we installed with
Sika 295UV. I have posted the step by step process here on the list
several times so I won't subject the listers with it another time.
If you decide to go that route, contact me off list and I will take
you through the process we followed.

Given the amount of water dripping onto my galley table, re-caulking
isn't going to do it for long.
Take your windows out, take them to any place that deals with acrylic
and have them duplicate them...if you break your windows make a template
out of 1/4 plywood to take in.
Let me know if you come up with a good glue solution...I'm looking to
do mine again, as I apparently didn't use enough glue or clamping and
my windows have sprung out a bit...enabling water to get in...

I need to repair some leaking from the windows. It was suggested to
me that removing the existing windows, cleaning up the surfaces, and
reinstalling them can be a problem because the windows might break.
Does re-caulking alone solve a leaking problem?
If I need new windows where can I purchase them in the Toronto area?
