Windshield leaks like crazy. Hardware is old and mismatched on centre opening window.
Frame needs painting.
Does anyone know where I can get hardware?
Does anyone know the process for dismantling the window for paint/resealing?

Read some of the earlier suggestions on this subject. Just my opinion but you will be opening a can of worms if you try to remove the windshield. Especially if it is a salt water boat. My recommendation is to sand, tape, prime and Awlgrip in place. I did my 36 Tiara about 5 years ago and the metal still looks like new. Brush the Awlgrip and smooth it with a foam brush. You will be impressed and have a lot less work.
