Re: Stus-List Fixing window leak

For a short term fix just use tape to seal the window – be careful not to 
stretch it too much

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,

Our first season with a 1978 C 34-1.  The PO re-did the windows using 
plexiglass over the openings bedded with Sudbury Sealant (found half the tube

from the top of the plexi where water can collect.  I'd like to do a quick fix 
for the rest of the cursing season, then a more involved longer term solution 
(if required) when the season is over.  Any tips?

As a lazy person I try the easy things first like tightening the screws.  What
