Thanks, Jeff. Yes, the daylight that you see is the fiberglass dropped down after we removed the trim pieces. We ended up dropping down the whole fiberglass panel and removed all of the insulation and luan. The lower aluminum frame was racked so we put 1/8” plywood between it and the upper frame, then pushed it from the passenger side to realign it with the upper frame and secured it with screws. We slid in a new piece of luan below the frame, using adhesive to affix it to the aluminum frame. Then we used Locktite marine adhesive to affix the fiberglass panel to the luan, using a linoleum roller to give it a smooth fit. On the inside, we put new 1” insulation in the spaces between the aluminum frame and topped it with 3/8” plywood. We’re closing in on sealing up the roof, replacing the front running lights and using new butyl tape on all of the trim. Thanks for your suggestions!
