This might help. Look under adhesives.

I have a similar problem and I cheated and made a temporary fix by carefully covering the outside of the caulked seam with a dark waterproof tape. The permanent fix will have to wait.

Have fun

First be sure of where the leak is coming from.........my hatches were leaking and I discovered the source to be the latching dogs. I disassembled the latches, cleaned and relubed with silicone lube...problem solved!!!!!!
