Rapido cab area roof

[steve 6644]

Hi can anyone help me with this please. I have a Rapido A class 9048. Right when I thought I had worked my way through all the faults I have had with this van, I now have water dripping onto the dash from the join between the fiberglass shell and the windscreen via the top rubber trim/seal. What I would like to know is what is the actual construction of the roof area immediately above the cab, not the overall van body itself. I am concerned that there maybe build components that could have been affected by water and this must have been going on for some time but been disguised by another leak from a rooflight very nearby. I appreciate that it maybe a case of just injecting some mastic and re sealing to fix it, but want to be clear there is has been no detriment to the construction

Many thanks

Don't worry, found out

I suggest you get some ventilation around the unit and then see if there is improvement and make a expensive decision after that.good luck.

Thanks for that. I found out that its solid fiber glass so nothing to rot or rust etc, and that the screen just needs re sealing from outside. Its a rubber sealed screen and not bonded apparantly. Heres the problem...



I can't work out why it's only just manifested itself, but I don't think it can do any damage to the van's cab body once it's been resealed.

Unless someone here has a different view??

It didn't do my blood pressure any good though.
