Lee,
What kind of plastic are the windows made of? Plexiglas, Lexan?

Subject: lv-ab: Window rebedding?
I need to rebed some large (48" X 16" oval) plastic side windows. These are
mounted in a recessed area in caulk with a 3/8" foam tape backing, no screws
or trim. I am looking for a source for Dow Corning 795 caulk, reputed to be
the best, but may need to settle for locally available GE Silicone II.
Can anyone that has done this before advise me on how the job will go?
Will the foam backing tape tear out with the window and need replacement?
Any special process to remove the window other than slicing the caulk with a
utility knife?
