Re: GLUE
This high-performance polyurethane becomes tack free in one hour and fully cures in approximately 24 hours.
The adhesive sealant is extremely strong, retains its strength above or below water line.
Stays flexible too- allows for structural movement.
Has excellent resistance to weathering and salt water.

Re: GLUE
I would have thought you'd need the same sort of repair as is used for damaged sails

Re: GLUE
To be honest I don't think the glue would last very long, what with all the flapping the hood does.

The current (opaque blown out) 'screen' lasted quite some time, years.
The glue seemed to have degraded in the sun (UV).

Take care to wear a hat (and shade your ears) and/or wear lots of high factor sunscreen.

Re: GLUE
I wouldn't use glue, you'll see it through the vinyl. Get an industrial sewing place or a sailmaker to stitch it in.

Re: GLUE
Mine is stitched in along the top edge and has velcro fasteners stitched in down the sides, thus you can detatch the velcro and roll up the window (held in place by a couple of press stud tapes).

Re: GLUE
The 'current' bit was glued in clear (now opaque) vinyl.
The vinyl flap (with window) has heavy duty plastic zips down each side and a 'rod' in a sleeve in the bottom edge so it can be rolled up.
The heavy duty plastic zips have disintergrated in then sun (UV) and I have obtained replacement materials in St.Maarten. BUT I can't find them in the house.

Re: GLUE
There are two fail safe ways of finding them.. 1. Stop looking for them, they'll turn up in a month or so. Or 2. Buy another set, the originals will appear as soon as you pay for the second set
