Windows

[Jkenny13]

Hello, I am looking for some advice. I have a 1978 C-27 and the windows are leaking. What have you done to either replace or rework them? I am going to silicone them for the season but I would like to replace them. Any links that you know of to get me to new windows that would fit? Thanks!

Do not use silicone. Here are some links that will help.

Thanks for the info.

First, and this actually worked for my C-27, try tightening all the screws in the window frames. Otherwise, order the replacement seals from Catalina Direct and reseal them. Those new after-market windows suck, in my opinion.

I tried to reseal the windows in my old 25, but they still leaked despite my best efforts. In my 30 i removed the old windows and replaced them with the dark plexiglass windows, and love them! No more leakage, and they look good to boot. I would recommend doing the replacements and stop worrying about window leaks all together.
