ROOF LEAKING !!!!

[freewill2008]

You did not tell us who you are or what kind of rig you have, but if it is a
vintage Wanderlodge with overlapping steel panels then look for
loose/rusted/unsealed mounting locations for the goat rails and roof rack
panels.

Also, the overlaps on the steel roof panels WILL leak. Not sure if the rivets
leak also. I've taken to keeping the overlap seams sealed with a high quality
marine sealant that remains flexible (Sika-Flex). The panels do move around
just a bit going down the road so the sealand needs to remain flexible. My FC31
does not have a roof rack so I get a good look at what goes on with the roof
panels.
