scubapop- I haven't removed them on earlier models but on my 83 it is just held in with screws around the perimeter that go from the aluminum and anchor into the fiberglass superstructure. They are hidden on the later models by a plastic strip that locks into a channel in the aluminum. If you are careful with a flat blade screwdriver you can pop out the lock strips. The older ones may not have the lock strips. I think there are also 2 large screws on the back of the wing windows

Berg---Thanks for the input---as soon as the rain stops I'll check. I know there is a plastic strip runnig along the lower portion of the frame for the two front panes perhaps the screws you reference are under it. Thanks again for your help
