Yes, but in this case I think the skylight lens in question is bonded to the flat surface of the deck. If it is like the skylight on a 37+ there is no depression the lens fits into, no frame, the lexan panel just lays there so the choice of adhesive / sealant is very important. As the boat flexes under sail there are significant stresses on this panel so the band has to be strong.
