Unfortunately we seam to be in a replace world now
in garages we had mechanics now there fitters as fit new bits
-
I agree with all you say Tony , but repairing is old day stuff like leading car body’s in stead of body filler
-
Why would you cut the post that is ridiculous all they need is a clean with sand paper
unless the post is burnt away from having a loose clamp then it’s a new battery
-
Where I use to work we had about 400 buses and for the psv test the battery’s had to have the poles cleaned with sand paper then the clamps fitted.
after that it was sprayed with a protector

The expertise and information are endless on this forum

This looks like it maybe what you need but as I said before it’s not for the faint hearted
you would have to check the sizes

Tony. It would be a big job to do as you say.
It would involve removing the frame from the boat then splitting the frame it’s made in two parts held by screws.
cleaning the glass etc and getting the correct type of seal
yes it could be done but a big job if you don’t know what your doing

I may have missed it but did you get the water out the tap or from a hose pipe ?
-
This is correct a example of this is a cab window on a double decker bus
next to the driver
-
There is different types of rubber seals I’ve seen them with slots in the bottom of the rubber so if water gets between the glass and rubber it drops into the channel below and out the slots out side

I would just like to add I must have made 100s of frames to fit to police riot vans etc for some years .
then I moved Jobs to working on bus and coach body’s including fitting and repairing glass etc for 31 years

This is how a window frame etc looks like if this helps .
there is no other drip on this type of frame

How bus windows are put together is the glass pane has a u shaped rubber put round the pane edge and the aluminium frame is knock on the glass in a channel about 9mm wide . then there is a drip channel about 10mm wide next to the first channel it’s all one section .
has the inner aluminium Webb rotted away ?
Having looked closer at the photos it looks like it may be a frame with no drip channel
-
Is that a rubber strip next to your thumb and the rest been filled with sealer ?
-
As above thank you for the reply.
and glad you sorted the problem -
There is a built in drip rail in the aluminium frame the slots are to high on the out side to have another drip channel
I would cut the black sealer out carefully not right up to the glass
Graham
As Tony said it’s been bodged at some time
-
On the bottom photo it looks like it’s had a cover glued to the frame that covers the wood below the frame.
also there is black sealer that could be filling the water channel that’s on the first and second photo
Graham
Sorry not bottom photo first photo
-
Can we have a photo of the outside of your frame too please
Graham
-
That looks like a bus window to me

It can be very annoying . people spend time trying to help others and they are ungrateful
