Has anyone tried using plastic "sleeves" between the screws and the
window. Works on my wheelchair
rims and seems it might protect windows from cracking if the stress
was on the sleeve instead of the window????

when you clean them and the gasket has shrunk to the point there is
a 1/4
gap at the seam. If I had it to do all over again, I would have
made a good
template for the "screwed" windows and stayed with them.
The "screwed" would start to crack around certain holes in 3-5
years...the
gasketed have been in there ten years...but are scratched from
putting them
back in every time I clean them and forget and put too much
pressure on
them.
Now, the A&P may have cut the holes a smidgen too big...I wasn't in
the shop
when he did that work.
