    Can you seal it without pulling them...? Yeah, but I've never seen it look good, it's usually a mess and rarely does it completely seal the problem and even then not for long. I usually just bite the bullet on leaking windows, ports and hatches and just pull them, clean and rebed with Dolphinite. I still prefer regular old bedding compounds for this stuff rather than polyurethanes and silicones.

    I agree with henning, although you might be able to wipe a bead of sycaflex over it. I am not familiar with Dolphinite, but have had good results with the sycaflex (spelling?) that a lot of manufacturers use.
