Post by onaprwl »

Has anyone had to replace a window in a 57 carver salon, if so where did you get your replacement from?

I would have a local automotive glass shop come out and take a look at it. I had replacement windows made for my last boat, and they could tint and temper them. Took a couple weeks to get it done. I brought in cardboard patterns for them to use, but you might have them come out and make their own patterns.

Thanks but that didn't work, 3 came out but can't do it, curved glass, have to have it special made. I finally got in touch with a marine glass company in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. that does makes these for a living. Thanks for the reply.

I'm surprised. I know two local glass shops that can definitely do curves and then temper the glass.
