Caulking Deck Lights

[LADYBUG TOO]

I did a quick and dirty caulking job on the deck lights on our R-29. All I did was put a thin line of caulk on the top edge. I am sure the bezel can be removed but I would like some guidance so I don't destroy one in the process. Will a putty knife under the edge do the trick??

I just popped mine off by hand, filled the holes with silicone sealant, and put them back on. This stopped the leaks in the cave and under the dinette in my R27. The others may have been leaking as well, I sealed all the deck walkway lights on both sides.

Use a sharp knife and just pop the bezel out, then caulk away.

If you are dealing with the courtesy lights on the cabin's exterior (versus the lights in the cockpit) caulk those prongs on the cover as that is where the goes.
