Has anyone done Nigel Barron's portlight replacement in the Owner's Projects section?
It looks like an excellent solution. I have removed all my portlights (most of which were leaking badly) with great difficulty and in the process damaged a couple of them. For they most part they are probably repairable, but the trouble of getting the gaskets, cleaning them up and reinstalling them seems like it might not be worth it, especially if the damage causes continued leaks.
If anyone has done this, how have your portlights held up over the past few years? Did they stay dry? If you had to do it over again, would you do anything differently? Use acrylic instead of lexan? What thickness did you use?
Thanks!
