I believe the rest of the thread is talking about the bigger fixed windows above deck. For the Manship fixed windows on the hull, one of ours started leaking. The leaks were not a defect of the window itself like yours, but I went through the process of removing and rebedding. You will need to pull it out from the outside. The window is installed with a lot of caulk and the screws coming in from outside are thru-bolted on the inside. The inside SS is just a trim plate installed with the screws directly into the wood with no caulk. It is purely decorative. How the window is installed will be obvious as soon as you remove it. Basically, first remove all screws on the inside holding on the the interior trim plate, then remove all screws on the outside. You'll need two people, one inside to unthread the nuts and one outside to man the screwdriver (same with installation). At this point, the window is held in only with caulk. Cut away old caulk and carefully pry it loose with the help of a putty knife. Definitely mask off the outside area so as to not damage the hull.
