I think the most time consuming part of my window replacement project
was removing the old Plexus.I said earlier, I used a small drumel

I can see this tool used on 'soft adhesives' like Sika but I don't think
I could have removed my windows with it... I can't see it cutting

Another lister said he didn't think a 'putty knife' would do the
job.it did in my case...
If the gelcoat damage is just chips, you might consider gelpaste. Spectrum
color makes very nice gelpaste in many custom colors. Gelpaste fixes dings
and chips very well.
Unfortunately, I have no clue which color works best on our boats. They
only have tinted gelpaste for newer boats, like 2006

Once again the topic of window replacement, and once again I am confused by
some of the posts.
Steve,
FWIW when I had my windows replaced, Maritime Plastics said they stay away
from screws, as they create another potential site for a leak. They used 1
screw in each of the aft corners because of the curvature of the window.
