Companionway handle leaks

[MalcolmP]

Funny how in boats one thing leads to several others... 

Just had the sprayhood off the boat (39i) for a couple of weeks to have a few stitches repaired and so found a new leak after recent rain in the aft cabin. Traced to the companionway grab handle. The following photos may help others who may not be sure how these are attached, Nothing too complex and after new sikaflex, no leak, he hopes.

Thank you, Malcolm
I need to clean up the teak under the grab rails, which really meant taking the grab rails off. Now I know what to do!

Thanks Malcolm,

I have wondered how those are attached. That takes the mystery out of it for when I have to do the same.
