[Rhodes22-list] It's time to say good-bye to GeoCities

Sun Nov 1 08:51:17 EST 2009

Lee,

Replacing/fabricating the snap-on window cover is no big deal, but water still gets underneath.  

Stan has posted that the two front side windows are the only difficult ones for achieving a successful rebed, due to the compound curves of the mounted surface.  I have contemplated a few new windows, maybe the back four, on Mary Jane, anticipating about $90 per.  Who can estimate the probable time for a window changeout and the tools suggested?

Art

After several hundred on-and-offs the snaps broke.  Now I leave the covers off but have to sponge out the ports everytime it rains.
