Getaway Hatch Leak Repair Instructions  
The objective is to bend the frame of the hatch so that the black o-ring  
type seal is higher in the corners and lower in the front center. The latch catches  
under the front center so this will ensure better sealing of the black o-ring seal.  
The key to bending the frame is compressing the yellow foam gasket as  
much as possible in the front middle and as little as possible in the sides by;  
Step 1: Back off all four  
side screws (Figure 1) until  
they start to become  
slightly loose.  
1) Making 4  
side screws  
as loose as  
possible  
2) Installing a  
new screw  
Fig. 1  
3) Get front 3  
screws as tight  
as possible  
Step 2: Using a 5/32 drill bit,  
make a hole between the front  
screws (Figure 2), then insert  
screw until it starts to snug up.  
(If you have a power screwdriver,  
the screw can self-tap, so drilling  
a hole isn't necessary.)

Step 3: To properly tighten the 3  
front screws, take turns between  
each screw (only taking a quarter  
turn for each screw) (Figure 3-5).  
Be careful not to over tighten  
and strip out the screws (using  
a hand screwdriver is  
recommended).

Figure 6 shows the desired  
shape of the hatch after  
the adjustment. Place  
a straight edge  
1/16" gap  
across the hatch,  
and there should  
Straight Edge  
be a 1/16" gap  
between the straight  
edge and the middle of  
the hatch.
