Luna Roadstar 2004
Before our trip over to Ireland I gave the van, Luna Newstar 2004 the usual clean down, this included the rear end roof gullies, these appear to run under the corner cap mouldings. After clearing what seemed to be endless leaf mould all was good. Now in Ireland and we have leaking in the rear corner so I am guessing there was more than leaf mould. Does anyone have any experience of what's under those corner mouldings, how they are removed and replaced? Current temporary solution is to seal the gutter outlet, but want a proper and permanent solution.
All advice gratefully accepted. thanks Steve and Kim

Well would you believe it!

I found the leak, and it was not the gutters, it looks like some one at some time had tried to fix something on the roof and had drilled a hole. It must have been covered in previously, as when cleaning the roof previously it was not there. Guessing there was possibly a dab of gel coat or something similar that gave way. It's now been resin coated, glass fibre patched, double layer, undercoated and sprayed. And following the heavy resent rain we are bone dry.
