Spence, Glad I could help. Guess that the tinkling of me ole bones hanging in the yardarms rang the ships bell  But myself I prefer the AL. tracks the glide bar can be replaced for easy movement of the glass plus they’re more durable  & with Dennis’s & John, A. idea of cutting down the bottom lips so one can remove the glass & screens easily without taking the track out. Now if John, A could come up with a U shaped glide strip to eliminate the rattling glass it would be better than a cold Brewski on a 90* day WEELLL maybe not quite  But I guess it just a personal preference cause if one was to put in a new set of plastic tracks they’d probably out last the ownership of the vessel, most Capt. usually turn them around every 7/10 yr Norm, BIG s Live on

Dennis,
Thanks again, for the great how do. I am geeting close to install new Aluminum tracks.
I am a little couious on the cutting of the track for removal of glass and screen.
The 3/16 channel height. Is that the depth from the bottom of the channel to the top edge?
(not including the bottom channel web thickness)
Could you clarify on how you replaced the plastic stops with the foam tape?
(my plastic stops are broke and need replaced)
It also looks like you glazed the fixed window in?

If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
