Ok, I'm just wanting to be clear where exactly the water is entering. I don't have a leak...that I know of, but this sounds like something I want to be pro-active with. I didn't use my motor home last summer because I was laid up with a broken leg and wrist. I have been on a couple of short jaunts since November. I am leaving for a few days tomorrow also. Is it at the seal where the cap meets the top part of the Sprinter cab? Help is always appreciated.

Yes, that is the seam exactly. I had dealer reseal that area last year and no problem since. They also replaced the Jensen coach radio damaged by rain.

It may not be the prettiest but using White Eternabond 4 inch cut to 44.5 inches, it covers the areas that the water was entering the overhead to the cabClick image for larger version

Very nice job. Now do the top side seam where the bunk cap meets the coach.

Done with self leveling caulk, when I get sun and above 65 I have fiber reinforced Eternabond for there! [emoji106]

Mine has a suspicious spot. I have whole body paint and don't want it to look like s**t. I'm taking it to show my buddy at his body shop. Probably will touch up the sealant with touch up paint that came with the coach. Like to get it repaired before we take it anywhere with rain. Thanks
