1980 C25 that doesn't have a single leak free window.

So I bought the resealing kit from CD and I'm blowing through all the windows in the boat.

My over confidence bit me now.
I took apart the front window located by the head that has the sliding window pane without noting how all the pieces fit back together.

I'm laughing at myself now. Can anyone out there post a close-up picture of the window so I can figure out how to rebuild it.

Also, any advice as to what material could be used on the sliding track in that window is appreciated. It would appear that even after I get it rebuilt, it's going to leak as bad if not worst. What ever was in that window that prevented water to get through has disintegrated over the years.

Thanks
Scott

After doing what you did, I glued mine permanently shut with liberal amounts of 5200. No leaks. Also doesn't open.

Silicon "windshield sealer" available at Pep Boys or the like is a good product to use on the outside of the frames and glass.
