I think he’s talking about the plastic skirt over the riser. If water is coming in through the foam gasket it would then have to drip off the riser and then find its way into the roof and then travel to the windows.

I had the same torque experience with a brand new gasket, and Inwas using a small 1/4” drive torque wrench. The gasket compressed until the bottom of the A/C was sitting on the lip of the riser skirt and there was never any tension. Backed them off completely and then followed the 1/2 compression rule. No leaks after that. Over-compressing is just as bad as under-compressing that foam seal.
