Polysulfide is not compatible
with plastics. It eats them.
http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/sealant.asp
"However, the
solvents in polysulfide sealant attack some plastics, causing them
to harden and split. Specifically, you must not use polysulfide to
bed plastic windshields or plastic portlights — either acrylic
(Plexiglas) or polycarbonate (Lexan). Don't use it to bed plastic
deck fittings either, including plastic portlight frames. Plastic
marine fittings are typically ABS or PVC, and polysulfide will
attack both."

If
they are simply screwed in the why not remove screws, clean,
apply new bedding and reattach using screws? On j boats of
the 80s vintage the windows are screwed in and every three
or four years if a leak detected we removed. Cleaned and
resealed with just silicone. Solved the leaking at 20
minutes per window.

Quick
fixes rarely last very long. However, if it's just till
the end of the season, try using vinyl tape. The more
screws you have, the more problems you'll have.

I finally got to looking at the windows again. The screws
are about 12" apart. Ill try tightening but sounds like I
may need to add more screws.
Thanks,
Jeremy
