1993 300 Sedan forward window frame replacement

Post by Dusty Bilges »

It appears to me that the forward window frames (and possibly the forward parts of the side windows) are made of wood and are deteriorated to the point of needing replacing or rebuilding. Anyone else come upon this phenomenon? Anyone ever replaced the wood framing? I surely could use a few pointers. Is this something a good carpenter can handle as there are no boat builders or fiberglass boat repairers where the boat is.

Post up some pics. With that vintage of a boat, I'd be surprised if the frames were actually wood. There might be wood trim on both sides, but I'd think the actual framing would be aluminum.

You're right. It's wood trim on the side that has turned to powder. Next time I get up to the boat (300 miles away), I'll post pics. THanks for the reply
