Two of my skylights on my 2015 25R-SC are leaking. Is there an easy fix or do I gave to replace them?
 
Depends what's leading to the leak. Is it leaking around the seal area itself? If so, have you carefully cleaned all of the seal area on both the hatch and base areas? Any obvious damage to those? Does the latching handle clamp down well?
 
They have been known to leak at the seal to the roof. If that is the cause you can remove the unit and use EPDM weather seal 1/4 inch available at Home Depot. Use two continuous strips around the perimeter and offset the joints. It is self adhesive. Be sure to turn the corners and having a tight seal. Apply caulk at each screw hole.
 
I had one leak at the latch. There is an o-ring that seals the latch so that it can turn as required to latch the hatch tight.
If that is where your leak is, I would suspect the o-ring.
