Front window is leaking.
I have a 1980 Carver 28 with medal front windows. It looks like the window needs to be resealed. Has anyone taken off the front medal window and tried to reseal. Good size window to try to remove. I don’t know what to expect of find. I’m thinking of loosing one side at a time and trying to put sealant under to stop the leaks. It looks like it is screwed to the fiberglass every 6 inches so the trick is to lift the window for the sealant and not bend the frame or crack the window. Suggestions?

After that, use new sealing tape and reseat both windows all the way around. With mine I tried taking a short cut or two and just ended up doing it all again. So, my suggestion is, do it right the first time.

It's really not as difficult as it may seem at first.
