Subject:Leaky Skylight, but...

... I can't tell exactly where the problem lies. It rained very hard here in
Southern California yesterday for an extended period of time, and my '88
Westy was parked outside, unprotected. After work, I discovered the skylight
had leaked (maybe two cups water total). The water seems to be coming
through the hole in the center of the turn handle that raises and lowers the
skylight vent. The seal around the skylight looks good - however, I think
this is the most likely culprit.

I realize the skylight itself might be cracked, but it doesn't appear to be.
Any thought or suggestions before I email the Skylight Guy for a new
skylight and seal? Btw, the existing skylight is factory-issue.
