[C320-list] Opening Port leaking, considering replacement

[JJ Morrison]

there should be a process on our web site for repairing these leaking portlights. I have a 1999 and all 4 were leaking; I did the repair about 5 seasons ago and nary a drop since. I've not got the time now to describe the process but it is easy and it works. If no luck let me know and I'll describe the process...quite a few of us have done it and no need to replace the ports!CheersJohnM1999#574
