[C320-list] Portlight Leak

[Scott Westwood]

I agree.  I did the same fix and no more leaks.  I used Bytel putty but I think most anything will fix that leak.




Thanks,

 If you go onto our website, you’ll find a procedure for removing the S gasket from between the two halves of the port light frame(outside). The gap left is filled with 3M4200 or a similar caulking. All 4 of my port lights were leaking, and I’ve not had a drop since doing this fix in 2010.

I have a persistent leaks during heavy rains through a couple of port lights.  I only get water intrusion into the Latch Cavity.  I changed the O-ring seals on all the Latches but still getting leaks.  I just notice that H2O was coming out of this hole.
