Default Skylight Flashing

Permitted tear off and re-roof in 2001 here in Florida. Any opinions on this picture? All the skylights show signs of previous water infiltration. Three of them are flashed in this manner. I'm no roofing expert so I thought I'd ask a few on this board. Thanks in advance.skylight-flashing-img_3674.jpg

Thats one cheap azz looking skylight. Doesn't surprise me it shows signs of moisture intrusion. It's difficult enough to keep a premium unit from leaking. From what I've seen, if you can get 5 years without moisture issues, you're doing good.

I don't see an issue with the flashing. Like mentioned above the unit will, if not already, leak. The seams are prone to fail.
