Window Removal and Installation

Window Removal Instructions

Removing a marine window requires patience and the right materials.
Our recommended
process
ensures you don’t damage
the frame or glass:

1. Remove the trim ring (if installed).
2. Spray Methyl Hydrate (or rubbing alcohol) around the window edges to loosen the Butyl
   and Silicone.
3. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut away adhesive, gently working the window loose.
4. If Butyl or Silicone remains inside, apply more Methyl Hydrate and continue trimming.
5. Work slowly—patience is the key to preserving both the window and the frame.

Window Installation Instructions

Correct installation is critical to prevent leaks and ensure your windows withstand marine
conditions.
Our diagrams and instructions guide you step by step:

1. Ensure the wall is flat and dry-fit the window before sealing.
2. Place Butyl tape along the frame as indicated in our diagram.
3. Run a bead of Silicone behind the Butyl for additional sealing.
4. Insert the window into the cutout.
5. Allow the Butyl to ooze out for 24–48 hours, then trim excess and run a finishing bead
   of Silicone around the edge.
