Re: Helm windows ?
Go to your local glass/mirror shop. Replace our 28TE windows, three front and four side, with grey tinted, UV resistant tempered glass. You may be surprised at how reasonably priced they are.

Re: Helm windows ?
Nice..
Would like more details.
Did you remove all the windows and reinstalled them yourself, or did the glass shop do it all?
Name and address of the shop, and price for the whole operation?
(If not public information, pls send a PM, or an email.)
Thx

Re: Helm windows ?
Purchased the windows from Monterey Glass Specialists in Stuart, FL. Any local glass shop should be able to supply them too.
Took the old windows out so the shop could them as patterns. Side windows are easily removed by pushing up then out. Front windows required a utility knife around the old caulking then pushing out from the inside. Though not hard, removing the old caulk was time consuming. Re-bedded the new windows with GE Ultraglaze SSG4000.
Makes all the difference in the hot South Florida sun. Outside of the boat looks better with the tinting. Also provides a slight more privacy. Night vision is affected but we rarely travel at night so no big deal.
