I replaced the lens on my forward hatch probably about 6 years ago. I used black Sikaflex 295uv and Sikaflex primer. Still no leaks. The primer is critical because the first time I did it I did not use the primer and it only lasted about 2 years before it leaked. I believe that I still have the original Bomar hatch put in Alianna at build in 1974.
