How to fix leaking hatch seals?
« on: March 11 2024, 10:06 »
During some heavy rain I noticed water leaking through one of the salon hatches.
It's coming in between the glass and the rubber seal. When I opened the hatch, I noticed that the seal is no longer properly glued to the glass.
Would I try and glue it back in place or buy new seals?

What kind of glue would I use?
What seal do I need to buy?

This is on a Bavaria 40 Cruiser from 2009.

Thanks!

 I think that the rubber seal is not glued to the acrylic or the aluminium frame it works by pressure.

I have the same problem and I am going to use a little bit of SikaLastomer 710 which is a butyl based sealant

I have the same leak issue. I Googled it a bit and a product called Captain Tolley's kept coming up with good reports. I have purchased this product but not applied it yet. It will be a few weeks before I get to this job but would be interested to hear if any other forum members have used this.
