Keith do you have some pictures? I love show and tell. My boat has blue stripes 
as well.

I had my frames sanded, metal worked, and painted Navy Blue (same as the trim 
on the boat). A good marine painter or an auto body shop should be able to 
handle this. We used good quality marine mono-epoxy paint (I don't remember 
exactly what). The frames now disappear visually, and combine with the glass 
(which has a significant tint). The look is much cleaner and more modern, and 
the freshly painted surface adheres well to the sealant.

Subject: [IC27A] leaking windows

I have a 71 catalina 27. 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.cruising concepts. com/retroftwin. htm). Does anyone have any
experience with cruising concepts?

Other ideas? Other vendors?

Thanks.
