The windows were leaking front and rear bottom corners. The pics show the wet plywood, which dried out in hours with no damage. Left another winter and more damage would be likely.
The weather stripping tape used in the factory had long lost it's adhesion to the metal and electrolysis had eaten some areas under the window tracks.
The windows were completely taken apart and every screw re-bedded in Sikaflex 291. The old screws were plated bronze and was causing electrolysis in the aluminum. Most have been replaced with stainless, and all have been well sealed with caulking to help keep the metal contact down.
New track has been installed and the windows went in for an over-haul at XXXX Glass. They removed the PO's dark tinted film. The guys found one panel was household glass, which was replaced with safety glass. The cabin looks 50% brighter with the one side done. It is really going to look great with all the film off. Original.
Spike has signed off on the work.
