[C320-list] hatch leaking

[Scott Westwood]

 Well just looked and the leak is caused by the hatch lens being cracked.  PO just put clear silicone caulking on it.
Guess I will search the forum posts for lens replacement options
Thanks,

Yes there is and they are available at Catalina Direct. But before you order them, try removing them and if undamaged, soak in ArmorAll and see if that stops the leak

Best Regards,

The leak is small but it's there.  I tried screwing it tighter (there's a Phillips screw) but that didn't fix it. Just did a quick attempt.  I was in the middle of something else so didn't give it much focus.  Previous owner had black duct tape on it and now I know why.
