Evaluation of All Skylights
Overall, the skylight is in acceptable condition and no work is needed at this time. However, with the signs of aging evident general maintenance should be planned for and scheduled when possible. The bare minimum to include monitoring for leaks/water damage, and to avoid applying any type of exterior sealant to the system.
