I apologize the pictures are bit out of context showing different issues in different areas
The warping is all over the place, what looks like a vent is actually the upper end of the ladder. This isn't modified by us or the shop, that's the factory sealant
Where you see someone peel back the seal at the side, that's also factory and not modified by us or the shop.
Where you see large bubbles in a layer of sealant, that was us applying a general purpose sealant bought at Fred Meyer (Kroger). I can't find it right now only thing I remember is that it was spray-on. We applied it to some areas where the previous sealant was cracked.
The area with the smaller bubbles is what Baydo's applied when they did the factory recall skylight replacement. Ironically, the factory recall letter stated "It has been determined that the polycarbonate
skylight which was sealed with the aid of a primer has become brittle and will crack"
So. live with the warping for now, but have the sealant replaced where it's bubbly or cracked?
