I can’t make this up. A few months back we were in our very last lock doing America’s great Loop and I managed to break a window on our starboard side. We are getting our Grand Banks 42 ready to list because we will now downsize to a smaller trawler of some sort. I need some guidance on how to get this sliding forward window out and the replacement in. We are currently in Florence Alabama and I have sourced locally a company I’m confident can get replacement cut to the right size and provide proper tinting, but they have no clue as to who I might get to help get the old out and the new in. There are no boat yards nearby.
I’m hopeful someone on here will have replaced a window before. It sits in an aluminum track and has some
felt in the groove, which also needs to be replaced. I really hope the interior teak trim/molding doesn’t all have to be removed but it may have to be.
Thanks in advance for any guidance and I’m happy to answer any questions.
