Has anyone had to replace or repair one of the long side windows in the main Solon of a 396? I'm wondering what type of sealant would be best to use to re-install the window?

IF your curious...

This is what I ran into:

Port side aft window of the main salon tinting began to flake off and look unsightly
I removed the window only to find that the glue that held in the window was adhered to the black tinting and because the tinting had failed, the sealant in many places was no longer holding the window in place.

I have the window at a graphics shop now to have Vinyl installed

after the first of the year I should have it back and will begin the installation process.

For Future reference I did find the stuff I need to use:

Sikaflex 296 to adhere the window
Sikaflex 295 UV to seal the outside.

There are many video's on YouTube on how to use both. You will need to use a primer as well to get proper adhesion.
