Hi all Majestic owners, mine is a 125 but it applies to the whole range with the same built design. My van is December 2015 so not yet 7 years old, it is built to the “Solid” construction standard. It has a warranty on the body for 10 years for ingress of water.
I was on my step ladder cleaning one of the roof lights when I put my hand on the edge where the plastic angle covers the roof to to side wall joint. To my horror it was loose. On further investigation the adhesive/sealant was not attached to the roof side of the plastic angle. In my case the whole section is about 1500mm in length, it was loose for approx 500mm. It was easy to lift it 20mm off the aluminium skin of the roof. I contacted Marquis in Plymouth(Lee Mill) and will be at the workshop today for investigation. Further to that I have removed the angle trim as I was worried it might come off en-route. The sealant just peeled of the roof like pulling off a piece of masking tape. With the section removed you can see the roof to side wall seam well covered with sealant, I don’t think there is a problem with ingress of water, but nevertheless the angle has been poorly fitted.
Further to this I phoned a friend who has a similar Majestic and he has encountered the same problem, his van is April 2016. He didn’t contact the dealer and ran a bead of adhesive sealer along the top edge.
If it has happened to 2 vans in Devon there must be many more in the same position.
