Hi need a little help here, I have a Norman 27 with a leaking houdini hatch dose anybody know how an Houdini hatch comes apart' to replace the seal arround the glass , Is it a split rim that comes off to release the glass so that the seal can be replaced, and the best place to get a seal.
If it is made by Houdini then they cannot be repaired- I asked Eagle windows to refurb mine and they cannotdo it. Unfortunately they are a poor design as water puddles on the hatch as the lip prevents it running off.
Thanks for getting back on this one, how ever i am sure if they go toghether they will come apart, i'll keep you posted.(wether or not it works, or if i need a new hatch after trying!)
The nugett that had the boat before us tried silicone so we know that dosen't work, any way were going up to the boat today to do a bit of Distroy It Yourself. Will let you all know how it goes!!!!
Rain stopped play! British summer time strikes again, but we did manage to get the water heater back in and sorted the inverter out. ready for next weekend on the Lancaster Canal.
