Window Removal, aft sliders

Post by Michboater »

Hi all, I am looking for help on how to remove the aft, port side slider window on my 1997 325 Carver in order to replace the zip pile since its mostly gone and moss is growing in it. I took all the exterior screws out of the frame, however, nothing I do will budge the frame to come off. Are there other screw I don’t know about or is it just the adhesive holding the window in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to break or chip the gel coat. Thank you

Michboater;

Did you attempt to lift the window up, until the lower part of the glass is above the track and then remove the glass from the track by pulling it upward and out. I am not sure that you need to remove the frame to get the window out. Any sliding windows I have removed, the glass will come out of the track. Sometimes it is a struggle but with patience it should come out.

Give it a try.
