My port side is loose as well. Gonna shoot some 5200.
It's screwed in. Hard to see from inside the cuddy with that crappy carpet on the ceiling.

OK, since nobody was certain of the answer, I went and found out for myself. Boatnluvr was correct. There is a black plastic strip that pops out, revealing the screws that hold the windshield down.

So now that I know how, what sealant should I use to rebed the windows. 4200?

4200 is slow cure 5200, and is best, it will take a few days to cure, but will make a better seal.

MJ they make 42 / 5200 both fast and slow. 5200 is for permanent install, while 4200 had less adhesive properties, not permanent. Not sure I ever plan to remove them though.

I like 5200, and it will come off when you want it to, they also make a 5200 remover so no worry mate! ;)

Well, in theory, if I put it on with 5200, it won't matter if the screws back out. 5200 it is ;D

Thank you Boatnluvr. I checked mine and there is that black strip that you spoke of. I can't do anything with it now since the boat is getting the engine mounted now.
