siskiou Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It took some doing, but the "nose" is now sealed and not leaking anymore! I'm not sure how the cabover area of an Odyssey is normally constructed, but ours had some aftermarket metal strip screwed across, over pounds and pounds of caulking, and it was leaking anyhow. Didn't look that nice, either. After taking the strip off, we found lots of rust, and an open seam beneath the caulking. Took hours, over several days, of cleaning it all up. We debated whether to just stick a strip of eternabond on it, but then decided to try and fiberglass it instead. I glued a piece of drywall bead with just the right angle across the seam. Three layers of fiberglass mat. Husband and daughter wanted some color on it, so I got a red that matches one of the vinyl stripes we are planning on adding to the sides later and went to work. And here it is! By no means perfect, but we like it and won't have to worry about cabover leaks from that area anymore! Oh, and ignore the debris on the hood! I haven't cleaned up, yet.
