Hi. Has anyone replaced their Houdini hatch seals?

Where is the best place to get replacement seals?

I assume the seal comes "off the roll" in which case how is the joint made water tight?

Thanks Adrian.

A good place to start would be www.sealsplusdirect.co.uk . My hatch is not a Houdini, but these people had the right neoprene section for it.

I have recently replaced the seal on Mañana.

I purchased it from ebay

I used silicon jointing compound from B&Q between the two ends to ensure a good seal.

I purchased 3m and that was sufficient

It provided an effective seal. However the it still leaks a little where the glass joins to the frame. I may have to go for a gatch replacement.

Thanks for the replies. I have found out that there are different section shapes, so new time down to the boat I will check what I need. I am going to the boat-show in January, I see that Houdini have a stand there.

Thanks again for your replies
