I have a 2006 27 PC and am leaking water around the window inside the bathroom when underway in 2-3 footers. Has anyone removed these windows to rebed and seal? Tips and/or instructions.
thanks
 
Same issue on a 2013 45.

I’ve heard using a heat gun or hair dryer, then applying silicone grease, will soften the seals and make them more malleable and likely to seal.
 
Are you latching all three latches? I have seen them leak with only the middle one used. Check the seal and lubricate with a light lubricant like Vaseline. If you put a dollar bill between the glass and the gasket and close and latch, the seal should be very tight and difficult to move the dollar bill.
 
Just a little footnote, the three latches are adjustable, to an extent. You can tighten them up until the port light is snug against the seal.

Thank you GSENT - believe all three latches were used but will test with the dollar bill and also lubricate the seals. Won’t have results until spring.
 
I have the same issue with a 2004 37PC. I use a little plumbers grease on all the seals at the beginning of each season and that prevents them from leaking for the season. I'll adjust the latches as well to ensure snugness.
