I saw that podcast, and the article I posted here is the first thing in print that I've seen that further amplifies the problem. If I owned a Jenneau with those artistically shaped windows I'd be really worried about resale based on Lady K Sailing and these developments.
Good post. I'd also lean on the staff here at SBO for help on the issue. They can be very resourceful and helpful on hard problems like this.
Not necessarily. They can also become crazed and brittle from long exposure to the sun such that when the seal holding them in place is being cut the stresses - or stress relief - can fracture the brittle window material. It's one reason why having them removed to either be rebedded (if not too damaged) or used to make a duplicate can be expensive in terms of labor because of the extreme care that has to be taken to remove them intact.
