Great Job>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Perhaps this update will benefit CSR
I removed and resealed each of the windshield attachment screws on my 1996 450 DA
After reading all the info here on CSR, decided not to use the Taylor made replacement rubber.
It doesn’t last too long in the florida sun.
Bought a sheet of this closed cell from McMaster Carr:
https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/128/3949
I cut it into big fat strips and compressed it into the slot.
The difference here is that this product should outlast the Taylor Made product in the sun, plus I have lots left over to do the job again, or even twice more if needed.
The biggest plus is that his product is very soft and compressible.
By cutting it wide and squeezing the fattest size I could shove into that slot this boat will avoid having water collect in there.
I believe this is a tremendous benefit.
Here's some pix:
BEST !
