Leaking Eisenglass panel in Bimini

[spadaforaj]

Have a small but annoying leak (of course - drips right on to my head while standing at the wheel) Any quick fix ideas for this short of a complete re-do or - "hey dummy, don;t stand there") ? The panel is really important to look up the mast and at the sail trim

Try a seam sealer. Here are some from Sailrite: https://www.sailrite.com/search?keywords=seam sealer

Also check REI.com and EMS.com

Bees wax on both sides of the stitching worked well for me however some spots where the stitching is lose I had to used clear silicon. Going on three years now, so far so good

Believe Amazon also sells it. Everybody should have a tube of this on hand. (Warning, once you crack it open, use it)

When we redid our bimini top we eliminated the clear panel; we have not missed it.

I did all the above and then used liquid whipping tape and for a plexiglass window that we replaced the eisenglass window with four years ago I used 3M 5200 as a temporary fix. I’ve touched that up with some 4200 around the edge for a minor drip. Amazingly its worked this long, the Bimini is made with ‘New Shelter’ not Sunbrella. It’s only temporary, unless it works.
