As autumn has arrived and with it the rain it get clear how much Olga is leaking
Ofcours thats a bummer with all the inside done
Therefore my advice to anybody how is redoing a GMC: make sure she is waterproof before doing interior:
I have 3 kinds of leaks:
windowseals
gutter
frontside window
Windowseals I have chaulked and they are tight now, but it would have been so much easier and better to have take them out completly and resealed them, had I known how easy that is when I had the interior out
Gutter: rechaulked dont want to take it of
Frontsidewindow: Now this is interesting
I took them out and resealed them anf gave them new filt, that did not help much
Then I found out that from the felt gutter there are holes into the inside- anybody know why? They are not there in a earlier set I have When I closed them that helped a lot
But still leaking
So I took a spare window apart abd I can see that the way it is put together it wil always leak The seperate parts should be gathered with a Butyl chaulking
The rubber seals on the glass itselv is also very dry and should be renewed
I will now order a resealkit and redo my spareset of sidewindow and hopefully they will be tight then
I know people say these coaches always leak, but I will not accept that , the war is on!
