[Rhodes22-list] conjecturing on leakage

[Mike Cheung]

It was just a thought and maybe you'd already covered that check in earlier
posts.  Any chance it's due to a heavy enough downpour that the water simply
defeated the laz hatch?  I got some that way, I think - and hope, after two
occasions.  One was a real monsoon rain and the other was from snow melting
in the cockpit, a lot of it.
