The other day, while gracefully navigating the ocean swells outside of Galveston, we thumped into about 3 real close swells, probably ship wakes. The Windshield on the starboard side just hopped off the fiberglass and made for a much larger opening through the cuddy. It had always wiggled a little, but it is an older boat and I passed it off as normal. "Just don't hang onto it", I'd say.

Later that weekend when I went about fixin' the problem, I found the original T-bolts holding the windshield frame to the hull were rusted away into nearly nothing. I replaced them all in stainless and used twice as many and now I think I could stand on the top of the frame and there would be no flex. Another great thing is the window/door now meets perfectly. Here are a few pictures...If your window is loose, I'd highly recommend this repair. It took 2 days, a tube of 5200, seven Shiner Blond, and $19.00 in hardware. Also, check out my fancy new verticle brace!
