Hi Joe,
I just replaced the plexiglass on 2 of my hatches. I dug out most of
the sealant around the lens, then took a windshield removal tool to
cut the bond between the frame and lens. I used a wire wheel to clean
up the remainder of sealant. Wiped the frame with lacquer thinner, put
a small bevel on both the top and bottom of the new plexiglass. taped
off where I didn't want sealant. Laid a bead of Sika Flex 295uv,
positioned lens into frame and pushed down with just enough force to
make the lens leves with the frame. I then filled the gap between the
frame and plexiglass. You will want to make sure you get as many of
the voids as possible.

I have been asking about sending my hatches in for refurbishment
and it isn't cheap. Am I overthinking it? I only need two things,
one is putting a new gasket in and the other is a new piece of
Plexiglas. I can buy the gasket and the glue and the local shop
can duplicate the glass easy enough. Thankfully I don't have the
kind of hatch that opens from the outside, so there are no knob or
O rings to leak.
Question - how do you get the hatch off? The pins don't look
designed to be removed easily. Do you cut them and then get new ones?
