wullie Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'm going to remove windows to reseal them, at present in with held in with self tappers, but would rather replace the self tappers with thread screws best size and thread, there is a rubber that covers the screws so can't be too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 The self tappers might be securing the internal wooden framing to the cabin side. Personally I would replace with stainless steel self tappers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Are you sure they are self tapers? My windows are just held in with wood screws passing through the window frame and holes in the cabin side and into the timber lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatinglifeupNorth Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) You could even use rivets if just going into the steel hull, also use a good flexible sealant/bond like stixall around the frame edge to bond the frame.

They do Stixall in clear. It's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomin' good adhesive too though - will he be able to get them out again I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
