I can't stop water from entering the aft deck through the bottom of the glass doors one port, one starboard leading to the side walkways
I have changed the trim at the bottom of the glass doors and every time it rains or the boat washing people spray water on them they leak
This is killing me help please

The best you can do is to try and minimize the amount of water that gets in. They are not designed to be waterproof. Have you tried adding a rubber weather strip sweep to the bottom of the door? Again, it won't be waterproof but it may lessen the amount of water getting in. Or, get a covered slip ;-)

Had the same issue with our 4207. Got some teak and built a damn. Maybe 3/4 inches tall and bedded it in with some 5200. Put the dam just inside the wing doors.
No more water on the aft deck carpet.

I have much the same with the bridge....anyway a possible solution if you can find this stuff would be a rubber flooring edge, shaped like a half oval, would stick up only about 1/4" x 1" wide, so stick down and if it doesn't work, just peel it up ( no harm )....maybe create a bit of a dam and not be so high as a tripping hazard .Havent found any up here yet but that is what I am going to try when I do...... :beergood:

I bought that stuff stuff for the bridge as well. Closed any gap on the canvas-arch join. 4207 has a forward sloping arch and rain would drip in.

I tried it under the door. It simply got all chewed up. The teak is very noticeable. I don't remember anybody stubbng a toe.
