Salon windows inoperable 32+2

[Jembuild]

Hi All!
I’m new to this forum. I’m looking at a 2000 32+2.
Despite some issues I really like the boat!
One issue is the sliding windows in the galley and dinette area.
Thy have become corroded and inoperable.
Does anyone here know the manufacturer of these windows should I need to replace them?

Hello. We purchased a 2001 32+2 last December and I broke one of the glass panes in the salon area. Here is what I learned. I could not find an OEM replacement window source. A friend showed me that I could remove the unbroken pane by removing the vertical aluminum bar on the edge of each window glass. Then the glass can be removed from the frame by lifting it up until the bottom edge of the glass clears the frame and tilting it outside of the boat for removal. I was then able to take the unbroken glass to a local glass shop and they made a new glass pane to replace the one I broke because all 4 glass panes from the salon and the galley side are exactly the same shape, they are just flipped over from one another to make a pair for each side of the boat. Once the glass is out of the frame, the frame can be cleaned of corrosion and debris that builds up over the years. During that cleaning process you will likely also unclog the drain holes at the bottom of each frame which can likely help with any leaking problems as the water builds up in the frames if it cannot be drained away. Let me know if I can be of any more help.
