I have a 1994 sailfish and need to remove the window frames so i can redo the headliner. Does anyone know how the window are installed and do the inside frames come out without removing the whole window?
 
Remove the black filler strips from the outside of the window frame and remove all the screws from under the cover strip. After removing all the screws the inside window frame will pull away. Yo may need to completely remove the window and remove all the old sealant in order to get the windows to seal against the deck properly. At the very least, you will need to add sealant to the screws before reinstalling them.
 
Thanks 1st Grady , I'll have to look at it a little closer.
 
You can probably pry the frames off the screws from the inside but your boat is probably ready for new caulking around the windows anyways. I did my windows a couple years ago because 1 or 2 of them were leaking. I popped the frames back on after putting the screws in. The frame is held in place by the screws but they are not "screwed" in per say.
