velux skylight leaking around the glass?

The inside frame of the skylight is getting wet from moisture seeping in around the glass. The seal is leaking. How do I repair it?

First, are you sure it is leaking, and not just condesation?
I fit is leaking, most Velux window sections can be removed from the frame, varies as to model/opening etc, Velux website is usually good for the info for that. The glass section you will find is fitted in by screws from the outside, a metal frame holds the glass unit in place. take the glass unit, the whole window, out of the frame, and lay on the floor, remove screws etc. reseal, done
