Hello all,
We are due to leave for Europe in the next few days. We have found we have a leak coming from the roof light just above the bed. I believe the rooflight is a Remis Streamline. On investigation I found the rubber seal that the dome closes on was distorted and out of place.(probably got stuck to the dome on opening and did not reseat properly) I reseated the seal confident that this was the source of the leak. Whilst investigating I found that the dome was coming apart ( it is made in two parts to give a double glazed effect). We had this problem last year in the bathroom and replaced the dome with the last spare in the country!) With the bedroom dome I decided to do a temporary repair with tape as the two halves had only just started to part.
We went in the motorhome today to find water dripping from the rooflight just as before. So it can only be the seal betweeen the roof and roof light. As I want to do a quick temporary fix so we can getaway I wanted to know how to achieve this.
There is a lip all round the rooflight where it meets the roof and I think I can tape this.
What is the best tape to use ? Paul
