[C320-list] hatch leaking

[John Jacobs]

Chris Burti:





Just so that I'm clear about the use of Armour All.  Is this the spray they use on tires or for the interior of the car?  I'm not clear if there are specific products or if it's all one product.





Thanks,

 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

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

Our hatch leaks (just a little) at one of the dog handles.  It's the hatch between the  dodger and the mast.  It is definitely the dog handle and not the hatch itself. 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.

I haven't tried taking it apart yet but before I try , any thoughts ?  Is there an o-ring or rubber seal that can be replaced?

We are lucky.  Only leak I can find.  It's duct taped again, for now.
