Hi Folks - my 2002 AFT Bongo has a front skylight. There is water trapped in between the curved glass of the front skylight and what appears to be a black plastic liner set about 1cm behind the glass. There isn't any water ingress into the van / roof lining. The rear part of the curved skylight forms the rectangular (flat) glass strip / skylight which has a cream plastic rim visible from inside the raised roof, but the front curved part is sealed off and isn't visible / accessible from inside or outside the van. Obviously the seal for the curved glass panel is leaking.
Anyone know how to access the space / fix the leak?
Thanks all.
Steve

Re: Leaking front skylight in AFT
Can't really help with this except i do wonder how i'd tackle it if the seal on my AFT skylight started to leak. Attempts at removal and rebedding would probably be a nightmare/disaster and i'm not sure i'd trust surface applied sealant. I've wondered occasionally whether some easy flowing setting material could be wicked it to seal it. Superglue, for example. Any trapped water would have to be driven out first mind you.
