Bayliner - Window for 1989 Capri Bowrider?
I'm looking for a replacement for the rear starboard window.
It's a 1989 Capri Bowrider 20.7 with a 5.8 liter I/O. Does anyone have one, or have any ideas as to where I could find one? (This is near Annapolis, MD) Thanks |

Ooooooohhhh... Someone said the "b" word. Anyway I have a gross of
starboard rear windows in stock, but they are for a 1989 Bayliner 20.7 Capri bowrider with a 3.8 liter I/O. Seriously, have with a local canvas shop to replace the window? It will probably cost less than a new factory replacement, assuming you could even get one. My guess is if you bring in the port side for a pattern instead of them having go out to the boat for measurements, it will be well under $100, perhaps under $50. Good luck!

If it's just glass, call up a local auto glass company - they can replace anything with the proper kind of glass, cheaply and easily. I've had boat glass replaced that way. Good luck. Cam |

Damn,
Sometimes I am soo stupid. I never considered it was part of the windshield. Cam is right. Or, if worse comes to worse, use a piece of lexan and cutto fit yourself. Draw the pattern over masking tape, then use a jigsaw to cut. Bob "never said I was smart" Dimond In article , "Camilo" wrote: "Brian Klug" wrote in message om...

Draw the pattern over masking tape, then use a jigsaw to cut. Bob "never said I was smart" Dimond Well Bob, it's only because of the BTDT phenomenon that we're "smarter than you". The DIY with Lexan you mention above will certainly work. I once re-created a very close facsimile of an entire walkthru windshield (the entire thing) for an aged Hewescraft hull with A/C plywood and plexiglass and hand tools. Without bragging, I was actually able to finish it so it looked very acceptable (hey the whole boat was kinda rough) and worked perfectly for many, many years. I know that Lexan is tougher than plexiglass, but I do believe it might share some of the shortcomings. At the cost of glass from the type of shop I mentioned, I would recommend using real glass if it would match the rest of the windshield. I think it's a pleasantly surprisingly cheap boat fix (like $25 - cheap, in the grand scheme of boat expenses!), and you won't tell the difference from OEM. Plus, in my experiences those glass shops, at least around here, know how to deal with the seals and can replace that sort of stuff too. Cam |

But not quite -- thats the problem. The frame would be great, but I would settle for just glass. You think a glass shop could deliver slightly curved glass like I need? |
