The only thing can add (after doing 10 windows) is that the surface need to be flat and smooth, install and seal out of direct sunlight, minimum 3/16 gap for sealing, slight bevel on both sides of plexi ( more on tape side) outside just enough to remove sharp edge, and when sealing push sealant with nozzle. Then smooth in one stroke for best finish. Also let them know they get one shot at the windows. Once the plexi touches the tape it is STUCK!! I put the tape in cut out even with inside edge of opening. Use a spacer on bottom edge to position plexi in opening. Good luck. Doug Mountjoy Rebecca Leah LF39 Port Orchard Yacht Club

They barely leak, but there are vertical splits on both sides of the forward windows and in big downpours do leak. I currently have blue tape on them to stop the leaks when I'm not around. I want them replaced and looking sharp before the wife picks out new upholstery for the interior. So far I'm looking at having them use 3M 4991 VHB tape and Dow 795 caulking. For those that have this done, any tips I should pass on to the folks doing the work. Also what was used for the windows, "cast" plexiglass? and what thickness? I've read 3/8 in posts, but I've been told 1/4" would work better due to the curvature of the adhesion area.
