Thanks All, I'll get up there with some sealant this weekend and let you know the results!! Tee.

Cheers, thanks for the tips, it could be blowing in from underneath I guess? Do these skylights often leak?

Hello All,

I'm a Newbie, first post. I've got a Westy Joker Hightop with a very leaky skylight, I've had a good look around it and it seems to seal okay but in this weather leaks like a sieve. Any ideas?
