I think I can fill most of this and get by




the pink stuff down in the tracks is epoxy that they used
to glue the tracks in place,,,,go figure

black ass old rubber that pulled the paint when it came off
about 3/16 thick




More rubber deep into the tracks on the forward window.
I think they used gasket in a tube

this was one of the forward two windows that were
mounted from the inside against the mahogany walls, that used to be there,,,,,,the location of the worse leaks and most of the wood damage


this was super hard, dried caulk of some type or pure epoxy, not sure


Had a tough time getting this off before I could even wire brush, which is what I discovered did the best at removing the gunk. The fine wire brushing did give a good bonding service though for making the repairs

another of the chipping process,,,,about 3/16 to 1/4 thick


One of the worse corners,,,,but thankfully on one of the windowss that I am going to trim down to fit from the outside so most of that will be eliminated


Had a nice wire brush sheen to them after I finished the outside

They shine better in person than they do in the pics, actually look so much better than they did

for the most part the exteriors and interior portions of the windows had only slight raised spots, specks, on them. the mounting services were the worse.


the one on the left brushed, the other not

As you can tell I have a lot of corrosion. I've got all the frame outsides cleaned up pretty good. I still have to go back and do all the tracks, pretty much the same way as I did the outsides, except had to change tooling. Finally just took a wire brush tool in 4" grinder and just cut as much residue and oxide as will come off. I still have a few fuzzies to get out and a couple of the PO installed tracks, that you can see laying on the floor. Just about all that crap came out of 4 big windows and 4 small windows plus what I had already cleaned up or trashed. The two front salon windows were the worst, with the most corrosion damage. Thankfully those are the two that will get cut down to install from the outside , instead of the inside. therefore most of the damage will be eliminated.
