The only other solution I have ever seen is to remove the existing windows, thru bold larger sheets of lexan (non breakable plastic) and calk between the plastic and the fiberglass. On the inside you would need to fit some trim to make the joint look good.

I had a problem with leaky windows, so I decided to try the reseal kit from catalina. Unfortunately, I seem to have made the problem worse. I bent the aluminum frames a little as I was removing them. I thought I pounded them back into shape and caulked them well (maybe not). At the end of the day, my GF says she never liked the way they looked anyway, and I would hate to go through this repair again to find that I still didn't solve the problem. Therefore, we are looking for other options. I didn't see anything on the catalina site. Can you get new window frames from catalina? I did find another company listing retrofit windows for catalina (http://www.cruisingconcepts.com/retroftwin.htm). Does anyone have any experience with cruising concepts? Other ideas? Other vendors?
