Heki MIDI skylight leak issue
My problem appeared after traveling/camping for over a week and sitting in 3 rain "storms"... with NO leaks or problems. Upon my return I had to park the truck/camper on the street at the Burban...

If your hatch is like our Heki (2006) vintage, if you take off the inside trim ring (it just snaps on and off) , that will expose those
red plastic clamps that physically tighten the hatch combing to the camper roof.
Look all all around the rough cut edge of the camper roof where they
chopped out the hatch hole in the roof for signs of water ingress..
If there is water intrusion signs, you need to remove the old caulking
on the top of the roof and replace with Dicor self leveling..
The best sealing job would be butyl tape between the hatch combing and the roof, then apply the Dicor to the outside between the combing and the outside roof..(you would have to pull the combing off the roof to do this)
We did that after a leak, never leaked since.
I now have the best Heki, a piece of plywood where it used to be,
Ours occupies a spot in the junk pile behind our shed.
