Thankyou all for your responses

I think some sort of tape is my favoured solution - there are no leaks so it seems wanton to take it off just to rebed it with non-marking sealant

So I've reseated the perspex window in the main hatch, and the forehatch and the tabernacle in Sikaflex 295. Maybe I overdid it with the Sikaflex on the tabernacle ...
