I saw this on FB. Very nice boat sir.

Thank you. She's been very good to us. Gonna be a little sad to see her go.

Resealing leaking windshield per ZZ13 instructions he has posted and hoping ZZ will chime in here. Po had irregular globs of goo smeared under the weatherstrip trim. Removing it with sharp putty knive and a razor.
Pic below shows outer corner of starboard side. Note the hard rubber block at the edge of the glass. These are about every foot around the glass. Where the glass is close to the metal frame they are almost completely over the glass. Here where there is a large cap they barely touch the glass. I don't know their function but plan to leave them alone.
As there is about 3/4 of an inch gap between the glass and the frame I not sure if I should run a normal size bead of the Dow 795 at the glass edge and another at the frame edge, or multiple passes, or one big glob from the glass edge to the frame edge. Any feedback would be most welcomed.
For anyone planing to do this ZZ s posts on resealing are really helpful.
Ps I promise more pics to follow.

Those plastic pieces are where a lot of water get by, when I did mine I took them out. I left them in then resealed around them and after sealant dried sprayed with hose and water seeped by them so I took them all out and and resealed where they were and everything was fine. I ran a strip of tape around glass, in enough so trim would hide it and filled in with a solid bead up to where the trim pushes in to metal frame and smoothed with my finger then removed tape. I removed all the old sealant down to foam that glass sits on then all new sealant with new rubber trim. I think the plastic pieces were to keep glass in place when made till original sealant dried.

Those blocks actually held the glass in place when it was first installed (at least I assumed that) before they sealed it up. I left mine in as well. Some of mine were angled up rather than flat. I shaved down the excess sticking up so they wouldn’t push up against the new rubber trim.

I ran the new sealant all the way to the frame but it was just a thin layer since I left most of the old sealant in the trough spanning that gap. I put down about the thickness of the glass since I wanted to make sure to cover the edge of the glass and about 1/8” or so over the glass. The whole thing was a big “feel” project. I did what I felt seemed right as I went along.
