My S2 is the 8.5M. Odd, my windows dont leak. I have heard of this
problem but have not had it happen.
My comments about the toerail on the Beneteau are based soley on a look
at from the exterior as I have noted before. I noted them because the
rivets had the same aluminum looking finish as the aluminum toerail and
I wondered if this was due to compatability problems with ss bolts and
an Al toerail although this was never a prob for me. I further
wondered if these rivets (or bolts although they looked like rivets)
were an Al alloy I had heard about with tensile strength greater than
steel.
There may NOT be anything wrong with rivets but in the late 80s riveted
toerails had a bad reputation for failure with rivets popping when the
toerail got hit. By the 90s, perhaps the problem was solved. I had
seen such rivets on old Irwins and the el cheapo Ventures.
