Very nice job, looks a lot better than the OEM install. Leak proof as well if the Eternabond was installed by the book.

Mine cracked in several places after 4 years. For me it was worse than simply water leaking into the shower because it also soaked into the ceiling materials and partly rotted them. I thoroughly dried with heat and fans. I made a temporary repair by going over all the cracked with dicor, and no problems for several months. But I am going to have to consider replacing the skylight in the spring, and I am not looking forward to this job.
The plastic at this point is so brittle that light hand pressure would be enough to cause another crack. The manufacturers ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Your old and new skylights look just like mine. Makes me wonder what the original skylight looked like brand new. Did it originally look as good as the replacement or was it a different type of material? I sure hope your new skylight, and mine as well, lasts a long time. It's going to be a bear to replace now that you've used the Eternabond but rest assured it's not going to leak.
