Pilothouse LOUVERS for the trunk cabin windows

[sbieleck]

Well, I went out to install my louvers and they are not going to fit in unless I trim around the edges. Has anybody else run into this? I do have a 2004 2520, so maybe I have the same portholes as drvan. I didn't see where anybody mentioned having an issue installing the louvers so I am thinking that my portholes must be a little different. They still appear to be 5 x 12 but the edges of the louver can't be inserted without really prying and bending. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Not me ...

Hey, anyone need the OLD screens?

Yes my set did not fit either. I took a small model jig saw to the boat & kept gnawing at the edges till it slid into place. The plastic cut with ease but would tend to remelt so had to keep the sawed line open. With a high pressure hose shooting at it a few drops come in the bottom of the porthole but some light removable caulking can easily fix this when I get motivated. ...............Pete

Thanks for the replies. I think I will try a dremel tool to shave off some of the edges. That should help avoid the melting plastic.
