Hi Jeremy, Here in Seattle we test for leaks almost daily. The thin aluminum HAVC tape w/ paper release is magic. Between downpours, you can wipe and install, and it sticks. It sticks to the windows, metal, and fiberglass, and is so thin water will roll over it. It doesn’t gum up like ductape - which will not work and leaves a sticky mess. Use till you can redo your hatches windows and port lights correctly.
