My 26' still has the original plastic forward hatches and they both leaked pretty badly. There is a lip that does a pretty fair job of keeping water our when the hatch is closed and dogged. What I found was that the adhesive used to glue the tinted plexiglass in had let go. I gently pushed them out and reglued them with 3M 5200. No leaks and it's been a couple years. That being said I'm sure there are quite a few hatches on the market that will cover the opening and be really solid. Rich
