Replacing my broken electric hatch cover
The locking knob broke off my old electric cable hatch cover so I need to replace it.
I ordered out a replacement cover and I just received it.
It looks like it is held in with 8 screws and had some caulking around it. Figured I would reuse the existing screws since the new cover did not come with screws.
What is recommended for sealing it? Should I use strips of butyl caulking tape to seal under and around it or is it recommended to use something else?
Appreciate any and all suggestions.
TIA, John S
