sky lights

Has anyone fixed a non opening sky light that leaks water.
Had it professionally fixed 2 years ago and it is leaking again.

Sikaflex. Sika has an excellent guide for bonding and sealing for marine use. If you dont want the entire guide, Chapter 6 is for windows and glazing.

Yep. It's what Beneteau uses to hold the ports on the hull in place. Follow the instructions to the letter.

Thanks guys for your input. Talked to Sika and they said that in 1996 Beneteau probably used a Dow product and I should use the same adhesive. Beneteau was less then helpful and suggested I go to a dealer, which is about 3 hours away. Not sure how helpful they will be.
