Fixed windows
kenc2131, I assume you are speaking about the two non-opening panes of glass below the foremost windows on the curbside and streetside windows that open. Unless you are wanting to remove the interior skins that are surrounding these two glass panes (not recommended unless interior skins are already removed for other reasons)! The easiest way to re-seal these windows is to (caulk) seal around the edges where the exterior aluminum skin meets the window frames and to also (caulk) seal where the glass and the aluminum frames meet. DO NOT USE ANY SILICONE PRODUCT ON YOUR ALUMINUM!!!! It can cause damage to the aluminum and is very hard to remove! The best product to start with in the process is called Captain Tolley's creeping crack cure. It is available at almost every Boat and marine store. When it is applied to the joint of skin to frame and frame to glass it will wick into the gap between them and you continue to apply it until it no longer wicks in. Let it cure for 24 to 48 hours and then use a product called Acryl-R to (caulk) seal around the joints you used the crack cure to seal. It is best to use masking/painters tape to place a straight line on both glass and aluminum either side of the seam. This will help you to get a nice looking seal seam. Run a bead of sealant (Acryl-R) and let it skin over then remove the tape and let it cure. It will remain flexible so don't touch it once applied. Try to use a steady hand to apply an even bead. Test it after 48 hours by running (not spraying) water over the sealed seams to check for leaks. If no leaks are found you have done it! Hope this helps, Ed
