shibs Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is this the front wondows above the cabover leaking? or the marker lights? The wet spot and stain on the foam seems to be just below the left window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbit Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We have leaks in the same areas. It is hard to tell where the water comes from. Ours is fiberglass, so the water just puddles up there and doesn't soak in. We sealed up the marker lights, yet it still leaked after a rain. I sat up in the bunk, peering close to suspected leaky area while husband stood on a ladder outside and ran a hose over the area. I could plainly see the water seeping in at the window gaskets on the left front window up there. I'm not sure I'd do this with frame construction, but I can tell you it is worth going after any possible water penetration points as water can come in one place, run along and come out somewhere else. A LOT of water can come in a seam or hole. Our marker lights were loose, cracked and I'm sure contributed to the wetness. We had some empty screw holes, that would have leaked and then the window gasket, big weepy spot! I'd cover all bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I seem to remember you also have a roof vent on the overhead area. Could be from there too. Water just runs between the paneling and the shell until it gets to a low point. Reseal everything and tarp until you can Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfstream Greg Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 This stuff will seal anything http://www.sashco.com/products/lexel/ but only use it on the out side, never put it under anything to seal because it just is way too strong. It sticks to anything even wet surfaces. If the area though ever had silicon sealant then you have to try and remove the residue left by the silicon, but that holds tru for any sealant over silicon residue.
