Tom,
Sorry I didn't see your old post. I went to McIntosh Glass in Ballard (too late now!)
I ordered tempered glass like the original and it was sent out to some other supplier. Tempered glass is usually a little less expensive than laminated safety glass but because many shops don't have it in stock it ends up costing more and taking more time. As you noted, thickness may be more important than exact tint or tempered. |

| My sliding glass is OK, but the handles have fallen off. I have them. What's the suggestion for reconnecting them to the glass? |

Commodore, i've not had to deal with this sort of problem yet, but when the time comes (hopefully never) I will consider the same sort of glue that a rear view mirror is attached to a window on a vehicle. You may want to check with your local NAPA out parts place for a starting point.

I've used that stuff to reattach mirrors to windshields in cars a couple of times. Often falls off again in about a year. I wouldn't use it for the window latches. On my boat I used 5200 when I had to replaced window latches. |

I have used epoxy. The rear view mirror glue has not worked for me. Don't loose then overboard---Expensive.

Just did this last summer, the only thing you unscrew is the center post of the slider from inside. everything else is seals and runners that slide out forward as you move the window back. I think i posted a few pics in my album- then I took the glass to a local auto glass and they cut me two for $150 each within a week(they also do local marine/Boat work in SW washington) hardest part was removing the handles. Also replaced outside rubbers and that was really a task, better on a warm day-

I was able to remove the runner pieces in the top track but the "handle?" - the aluminum bar on the back edge of the window - keeps me from being able to lift out the window. I assume I need to remove it but no clue how and don't want to damage it. Ideas?

Well, other posts clued me in. Its just held in by the rubber insert and some strategic tapping with a piece of wood loosened everything up.
