[C320-list] Forward hatch leak

[mike at softscrap.com]

Check the latches.  I had the same problem and found that the 'o' rings inside the latches had dried out.  Only rain from a specific direction caused it to leak.  I replace all the "o" rings and ... so far ... it's been dry.

I replaced the gasket and rebedded the frame...still leaks sometimes randomly, can't figure out the cause.
