The super-easy way to repair Skylight WATER LEAKS is with Super Silicone Seal. After fixing skylights for 30 years, I finally came across a product that adheres to glass, plexiglass, and metal.
Watch the steps on how to clean and prepare this skylight before applying Super Silicone Seal.
This process will work for any project that involves glass and metal.
Super Silicone Seal can be purchased from this link:

8 Steps on “How to repair Skylight leaks”:
1. Make sure the surface on the plexiglass or glass is dry
2. Remove debris and environmental dust settled between the glass and the retaining metal ring
3. Use masking tape to tape the glass leaving approximately 3/4″ exposed to the frame.
4. Apply 1 coat of Super Silicone Seal covering the glass and the frame
5. Cut the polyester fleece in half to be placed over the Super Silicone Seal making the transition from the glass to the skylight frame
6. Add a final coat of Super Silicone Seal over the Polyester Fleece
7. Remove the Masking Tape immediately after the final coat
8. Take a dry clean rag to wipe off any Super Silicone Seal that is on the glass or areas where it spilled
Why Super Silicone Seal?
1. It adheres to metal and glass
2. It is flexible after curing
3. It is easily applied with a brush
4. The Polyester Fleece adds tensile strength and prevents any cracking when glass and metal move during expansion and contractions
5. Cleans up easily
6. Environmental friendly
7. A build-in natural Ultraviolet protection (heat and Sun won’t affect it)
