'05 AT Dakota with recessed 4m Ormnistor awning
Looks as though I have water ingress from the forward awning securing
point on my Dakota...removed the internal cover and found the nuts very loose.
Rather than leave the awning in place with the nuts nipped up tight and hope that this would be enough to create a seal with whatever sealant remains, I'e got a "gang" together to lift it out and reseal this weekend.
The awning is recessed into the body and regardless of how I look at it, there is no chance of getting a blade between the mountings of the awning and the recess moulding to cut through any sealant...I don't really want to try and lever it out, the only place to lever would seem to be at the ends against what looks like fragile end caps on the awning.
Best bet seems to be to remove the awning securing nuts inside the and push against them and hope that'll be enough to break any seal.
Anyone offer any advice please?
Thanks, David
