An update …
Now that the rainy season has arrived in California, I’ve had a chance to test my skylight seal installation.
After the first heavy rain, I noticed some leakage, so I applied some silicone seal around the edges of the gasket, both on the glass side and the roof side. That seemed to do the trick.
However, a few months later I went on a ten-day business trip, during which time it rained like stink. (I came home to find a foot of water in the basement due to a failed sump pump, but that’s another story ….)
I noticed several wet spots on the inside of the VW, all directly under the skylights. So it must have been leaking again. My next thought is to see if anybody knows of a spray-on sealant that would definitely seal any gaps or cracks, even the ones that aren’t apparent to the eye. Can anybody help?
