That sucks.

At least though, the paint should be easier to keep clean than the Gel Coat. Since at least with my coach, the rear gets dirtier - due to road grime I think - a painted rear might...

I'm using silicone grease on the tail light gasket rather than silicone sealant. I got it at Amazon - they use it for scuba diving... for what reason I am not sure.

I put a bead of it around the...

Documenting the problem seems like a good idea. I used some drip edge on my last boat. I could never get the window leak to stop, so I simply diverted the water.

I even tried this stuff called...

I can assure you that using epoxy is an established best practice for boat structural repairs where they deal with de-laminations, wood, and cracking structures on a daily basis. Once treated I have...

I always blue-tape mask off any areas I am working on, and...

Well, the good news is that after a monsoon the other day, I opened up one of the light fixtures, and nothing was wet inside. The silicone (not a sealant, but a grease) looks to have helped in...

I finally got the wood dry, and I "painted" the inside of the void with epoxy, which will make a permanent and waterproof bond with the wood.
