An alternative to refitting Corribee windows.
I had a problem at the start of this year with mine leaking and I repaired them using a product called Life Seal; there was an article in one of the yachting magazines, I think it was Sailing Today, that recommended this. The method I used was as follows: Remove the rubber beadings from the outside and throw them away. Then mask off the outsides of the frames and the glass leaving a strip of glass about 5mm wide where the beading was. Clean frame and glass with meths. Fill the gap between frame and glass with Life Seal building it up proud of the frame to the edge of the masking tape so you end up with a sloping profile similar to the rubber beading. Remove the masking tape before the Life Seal has fully cured. Once it has fully cured you can tidy up any rough edges with a modelling knife. This appears to have been completely succesful - no more leaks and I didn't have to dismantle the frames. I think I used about 3 tubes of Life Seal. I hope this helps. Regards Bill..
