The problem with polycarbonate panels is they expand and contract with temperature change. When installed a reliable soft rubber gasket must be used fastened with a metal cover. The gasket continues to seal despite the movement of the polycarbonate panel. Using any sealant such as silicone will be messy and unreliable. When it cracks due to stretching caused my movement of the panels it will fail. Keep your polycarbonate panels and install new gaskets or a gasket to the affected area.

This thread is over 3 years old! For reference, we had a leaking conservatory with a polycarb roof. I ended up using polycell flexible filler to seal the interior gaps where the roof met the windows and then went outside and used silicon all along the edge of the poly roof (lifting it up and squashing down again). It hasnt leaked since
