We removed the window screws, pulled the window out far enough to access the mounting surface, cleaned and recaulked. I found that many of the screw holes in the fiberglass were stripped from years of retightening. A little epoxy and redrilling tightened the holes back up. No leaks since. My dockpartner had the same leak issue on their 86 tri as well. We did the same repair but it was evident that at some time Trojan switched to using 5200 sealer, making cutting the caulk, removing the window and preparing the surface a much more difficult chore.
Thanks for the info. How far out did you pull the outer frame? What did you use for a sealant/caulking? I was thinking of using Sikaflex 291. Is there something else someone would recommend?
Cheers,
