Hey volks, Have you ever had a leaking skylight in your Westy? Where was the source? How did you remedy it? I'm trying to figure out how to seal it and thought I'd try foam along the convex perimeter, atop. I removed some clear RTV the PO used from around the fasteners last spring (it leaked a little beforehand) and wonder if that's the source. It now drips steadily from the operator housing which I think is catching it from the top itself. Seems a poor design since instead of having a convex perimeter on top it's concave, which simply catches the water and allows it to enter the cabin at the meniscus.
