Hymer with a leaky roof. (6 Viewers)

This is a new leak. We're pretty sure that it is the seal just behind the cab.The sealant under it looks a bit rough around the edges. Its an 05 van so not round headlights. Its a very small leak that only occurs when the wind is in the wrong direction. In fact if we had got the cover on before the heavy winds started we wouldnt have known about it.

I have a similar problem with My 2016 Hymer . I think I need to replace the rubber seal. Where can I get some?

If you are referring to the strip that runs across the roof, it is not a seal just a trim covering the joint.

I posted that some time ago and my husband had solved it since although not totally resolved it. The previous owner had an awning fitted and to put it mildly it turned out to be a rubbish job. It became evident that it was leaking through a bolt securing the frame of the awning. My husband removed the awning and the frame and it low and behold there was hole ddrilled in error and not filled plus it was leaking around one of the bolts. The reason it didn’t become evident when we bought the Moho was that it had been kept in a barn . So far my husband has removed offending awning and is scraping the area behind it clean. He has filled all the holes and inside the van is now as dry as a bone. The question becomes do we make good the side or replace the awning. Still thinking about that.
