Upon removing front windows for mammoth re sealing operation, I helpfully created a small crack in centre panel. This cracking does not pose an aesthetic problem, it just sits at the top of the panel beneath the hinge. Also, we do not tend to open this window, so load is held by catches. However, it will leak. Rather than purchase a whole new window, is there some sort or acrylic cement or glue for this task?

Failing this, where do I get a new or 2nd hand window for a Compass Merit...?

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

This place is worth a try. I got a front window for my Elddis Tornado from them.

Thank you. I have already ordered an acrylic repair from Frosts Autos called Captain Tolleys. It was recommended by a colleague who used it on camper can window. He says it is thin enough to wick into the cracking and also doesn't smear. We shall see. I will post result.

Thanks again.
