Just noticed a corner of a window on '93 33.5 loose. Is it time to rebed those windows? If so, what's the drill? The lexan (plexiglass) is still good, and I suppose will retain their curve if removed. This so? Thanks.

Don't have answer for you. On mine, a corner of the window lifted, letting in water. I filled the gap with 20 bucks Silkaflex 295UV sealant. Within a year it lifted and leaks. So I dig out some old sealant/compound and refilled with 5 bucks black RTV silicon (for windscreen) bought from car parts shop and haven't had any problem with that window for last 4 years.

There is a difference of silicon caulks and I have used an architechual grade of pure silicon which I believe the rtv grade mentioned is. He is correct.

The product that has been recommended is the DOW795. It was what Hunter used originally.
