Recently when hosing off the coach roof, I noticed that some of the seal around the panel in front of the dodger was coming off, The square panel extends under the dodger and has two arms that extend on either side of the sliding hatch cover. I recall a thread years ago that may have addressed this issue but don't know where to start to try and find it. I assume some of you have removed the panel to replace the seal. I hope to avoid the need to remove the traveler and can slide the entire piece toward the cockpit and underneath the traveler. Suggestions and recommendations? Thanks.

I thought I would update my original posting due to a lack of response which I hope was due to what I was looking for. I am attaching a picture of what may be known as the sea hood. The seal around it is deteriorating as chunks are coming loose when I wash the boat. Has anyone removed it for resealing and if so how complicated is it? What did you use for resealing? If not, would it be possible to reseal it in place with white caulk or butyl tape inserted in the channel along the edges? Thanks.
