I recently bought a lightly used 2006 Adventure 208 (135 hours) with a full canvas enclosure. The boat is currently on its trailer and I noticed during yesterday's rainstorm two pretty significant leaks in the windshield; one at the base in the center, and one at the base at the joint where the front of the windshield meets with the glass on the starboard side. Am wondering if the upward pressure from them straps that clip onto the windshield frame might be causing it to separate from the deck which is then letting the water in.
Am looking for some help on the best way to fix this either by sealing with some sort of caulking or replacing the window seals and mouldings and whether this is a major or minor fix. I have checked some of the forums on the web but cannot find information specific to the 208 on what might be involved with a either a seal replacement or the rubber mouldings are around the windows. Any suggestions on how to best solve this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
