Well, if I were the only one who worked on it, the explanation could be simple incompetence, but others, professionals, tried.  The automotive window/skylight shop owner refused payment for the half day his workers put on it, but I paid anyway.  His workers, like in most automotive shops, work by piecework pay.  He passed what I paid on to the workers, or actually told me to just pay them directly.  mcneely

A defective gasket could probably be ruled out since they are cut off a roll; if one was bad we'd have gotten hundreds back. (Besides, you tried two.) Sorry, gotta say I'm at a complete loss to explain this one.
