I think i have to check this before something bad will happen (hope it didnt happen yet) :Blush:
Not going up the roof of our camper often but a few days ago i did. On the roof there are aluminum plates, fastened with screws, to enable walking without damaging. Those plates are about 200 cm * 150 cm.
When walking i heard some squelching sounds, which in my opinion means that there is water between the roof and the plates.
Now before taking my hands out of my pockets (sometimes it is better to keep them there because I am not a "handy man") I think it is better to have some information, which i hope you can provide. :thumb:
1. Is it normal practice to fasten those plates with sealant all over or may I expect only sealant on places were it is secured with the screws ?
2. If the plates are fastened with sealant all over how do I remove those plates without damaging the roof itself or bending the plates ?
3. If the roof is damaged what is the best way to proceed ?
4. When returning the plates, should i fasten them with sealant all over or should i only sealant those places were the screws are situated ?
Now it may well be that i have overlooked something important which i have to consider before starting. If so Please.......
Thanks in advance for your reactions
