Went to visit our van in storage a couple of days ago to find the u shaped rear lounge cushions wet!!!
After a small panic we spotted the water was coming in from the bottom of the back window, pooling on the seal then running down the wall on to the upholstery.
The roof slopes from front to back so rainwater always runs down the back of the van to the window.I can't see why the window seal is being breached by the water. I've duck taped a large plastic bag over it & taken the cushions home to dry them out.
I went back to check again yesterday and was relieved to find no more water & the wooden slats were drying out nicely. I've searched the web to find a likely cause for this but all I've come up with is that the seal itself may need replacing or possibly just needs a thorough clean to encourage the plastic window to seal against it properly.
Obviously I don't want to kick off this years adventures with a plastic bag taped to the back so does any one out there have any ideas or has this happened to any of you?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions:thumb:
