Leaking hatch

Weber

Anyone know if there is a seal replacement kit for the main hatch on a 04 312? I emailed the manufacture, with no response back. The hatch is a Bomar 200301307. The glass and frame look in good shape, so it's probably the seal around the glass and the gaskets under the handles. Thanks.

I would suspect the oem mounting, not the rubber gasket.  Do yourself a favor and pull the hatch and rebed with 3m 4000 or 4200.  I bet you will find an area where the sealant is non-existant, especially by the hinge.    Al

I'm basing the idea go the seal being bad from what the previous owner stated and what he did to stop the leak. Every year he would caulk the glass to the rubber seal. When it drips it drips from the inside of the frame, not the outside where it mounts to the deck.

Rebedding with butyl tape is an option too. No mess, easy to undo too.

Here are a few of options.
