On my 73 express has front cabin glass has broken. Need to replace it and wondered if anyone had a suggestion on the type of beading to use to seal glass'
Thanks, Wayne

Are those fixed windows or in a separate opening frame?

Got any pictures?

Here is a fixed window gasket.

If it's the opening window you're talking about, just remove it and take it to a good glass shop. They will also have gaskets and glass, but cheaper to have them do it. Keep the windshield glass closed and clamped shut when you're not there. I've had broken glass from the wind banging the window open and closed.--Ed

My front cabin glass on 73 express is just like the drawing on our forum page.It has an alum. frame that is screwed nown. It does not open & has some kind of caulking or beading under it.
Thanks Wayne

OK now I know. It's the actual cabin glass, I was thinking the glass up above in the cockpit. Still you could take the whole boat to the glass company, but you might want to just take out the old glass, and have them make you a new one just like it. ( but without he cracks ) They will have the gaskets,( use clear silicone caulk too if you want too be sure) and you may want to throw out the old screws and replace them with new. Lot of the old screws you're just glad to get them out, so it's nice to put in new ones. The old ones get ruined taking them out. --Ed
