Salon translucent panel water leak

[Bluebird 45]

Anyone have problems with the salon translucent panels leaking? I?ve caulked with 3m 4200 multiple times and it continues to leak during heavy rain. Thank you

I've had minor evidence of a small leak when I purchased the boat, I assume it was addressed because I have no water intrusion now. If I'm not mistaken I believe there are several threads on the forum discussing this issue. I would do a search.

Ongoing issues. There are many threads about this. I dug out the old caulk last year on my port side and a member suggested to use GE Silpruf.

That was last fall and so far so good, although, now the starboard side is leaking, so looks like I’ll be doing that one next. Poor design on Formulas part, wish there was an easier fix.

I reached out to formula and they sent me a procedure for rebedding those panels. I'm not sure how to post a .pdf on here. DM me or contact formula and they will help.
