The gasket in the Moonlight hatch/portlight in the quarter berth giving into the cockpit has substantially detached itself from the frame. There does not appear to be a channel or groove in the frame for the gasket to fit into, and the gasket is distorting ( as well as leaking) when the portlight is closed.

Any members experienced in resolving this problem? Or do I simply wait for some fine weather before cleaning it all up and doing my best with contact adhesive/superglue, or an alternative adhesive? It would be advantageous to be able to slide the gasket around in the adhesive when finally refixing it.

Just glue it with evostick or similar. You can buy new sealing strips with self-adhesive from Houdini hatches tel 01621 773590 who supply moonshine portlights. Just tell them the length you need.
