How do I fix leaks around the window without taking the windows out, would caulk work, and if so what kind of caulk???

I have already used 5200 and I have had no success

You would be better off and money ahead not to fix the leak at all and disclose it to the prospective buyer.
This is my vote too. Just leave it, tell the next owner about it, and let them fix it the way THEY want it done.
Boatlife polysulfide will kick off in the presence of moisture, so if that is present, it can work. Sikaflex 295 UV is designed for the purpose. 5200 would be a bad choice, but it sounds like you have already failed with that one.I have already used 5200 and I have had no success
Don't think so. It might react with the Lexan, if that is what you have. Use the product designed for this job, which would be Sikaflex 295 UV, or a polysulfide. If moisture is present, use polysulfide. Taping is the biggest hassle, but also the key to a nice looking job.I am also thinking about using polybutylene, do any of you know if that would work?

Greetings,
Fair enough Mr. Keith. My experience has been just the opposite.
So both of you have used flowable silicone to stop leaks with poor results?
So don't knock my fix if you've never tried it. You're just talking blah blah about silicone in general.
