Water leak...
First of all I want to thank everyone for the replies...all were very
helpful! I got the spoiler off and am in the process of cleaning off the sealant that was between it and the roof. I agree that it is probably un-necessary to seal all the way around the spoiler. I think when I replace it I will mainly just seal around where the screws enter the roof. Rob, I found that Home Depot had a Butyl sealant. It Dap Butyl-Flex rubber sealant. It says Gutter & Flashing on the tube. It was about $3.50 for the 10oz. tube. McCoys hardware had the NP-1 as well.

Check with any major builders supply house or professional painters supply. They
should have a number of different sealants and someone on staff should be able to recommend the proper product.

David I have bought butyl tape at paint and body shop suppliers. It is
usually used to seal windshields. I believe you can buy it in both tape and liquid form. I use the tape and pull small pieces off and wind them around each SS lag screw I put into a roof.

I just wanted to update my situation. I ended up pulling off the
spoiler and cleaning up everything as well as possible. I used the NP-1 around all the screws to reattach the spoiler. I wish I had been able to get it done a little earlier, but it had about 4 or 5 hours of sunny hot weather to cure before it started pouring rain again. Went inside and so far everything was still dry as a chip! I just hope that was long enough for the NP1 to cure. Thanks again for all the replies and help.

John,
I use NP-1 daily. It's nasty @#$% but it works. If it was applied on a dry substrate metal or otherwise you should be OK. I wouldn't think rain would effect it after 5 hours. Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Niceville, FL Side note. I used NP-1 to apply the polished stainless upgrade on my coach about 1 year ago. It is still there. ----- Original Message ----- From: John To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 8:05 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Water leak...
