Repairing skylight window leak
 

What's the typical repair procedure for a leaking skylight? lift up
some of the tiles outside and re-caulk around the window? Do the tiles
just generally lift up? Never had a really close look, I guess I
should have checked before this post, but any info would be great.

Depends on where it is leaking. Mine was leaking where the glass meets the
frame. The insulating seal had worn out. I took the frame off, removed the
aging seal, and caulked around the glass. Replaced the frame and caulked
the edge where the frame meets the glass. I also caulked all the nail heads
where the flashing is nailed to the roof. Worked for me but you could have
other issues. If you look real close you may be able to see where the leak
is.

Use the best caulk you can find. It's not something you want to do that
often. ;-)
