Replacement front windows:
- Thread starter RolfSail
- Start date
The front windshields are available from the HunterOwner's store here. I have not replaced them, but I've got the install doc somewhere- let me look around and will upload.
Hunter 260 windshields

I watched a video of an install once. The guy...
- took an ice pick (might be hard to find one of those these days) and worked the pick between the window and the port opening (punched it through the bedding).
- Then once a small home was made he worked a piece of doubled and twisted dental floss through the hole and tied each end to the shaft of a screw driver.
- With one person in the boat and one out, they then used the floss to saw away the bedding material until the window was free.
- Cleaned up the port hole of any old bedding material
- Used a 3M goop like glue (someone here will know the exact one) and put the new window in place
- Laid a bag of play sand (Lowes) over the new window to hold it in place with some pressure while the glue set up. He recommended only one bag of sand so that you don't squeez the glue out of the void.
For replacement, call the forum store and ask for Mike Thomas who can get it built. He was a former employee at Hunter who ordered supplies The sealant for the forward windshield is Dow 795. You can also use fishing line to. My thanks go out to @caverun and @rgranger for those references. If you run into issues, ask for Al Fooks from the forum store since he was a former employee of Hunter who did this kind of work
