Hi
First post on here, and I hope someone can offers sound advice.
Question is on the top of my motorhome I have 2 rails which run the width of the van 1 at the front and 1 close to the back .I belive there will be joins in the roof underneath them which are possibly allowing water ingress.
I want to remove and reseal.
Do I use a none setting sealant or do I use a mastic strip and could you point me in direction of best to buy.

Cheers in advance

Try Sikaflex EBT - available in a wide range of colours from Screwfix at £8.35 / tube.
Used this with perfect results when changing my reversing camera and reversing sensors etc.
You won't beat it.

For technical differences between their sealants / adhesives, I would try the Sikaflex website - www.sika.com. I'm sure there will be a product technical sheet available to view or download.
