Hello all,
I'm working my way through the multiple leaks on my coach. The drip rails are done (what a PITA), all roof vents, fans, clearance lights etc. The roof is done. My coach interior is gutted so following/seeing leaks is much easier. There was always water pooling in the extrusion between the SMC and aluminum at the belt line. I did want to jump to it being the belt line before the roof was done but now that it is, I wonder how a person goes about sealing the belt line. The coach is a '77 so from what I understand, the aluminum strip between the two material is not removable/serviceable. Is it as simple as running a bead of sealant across the top gap? It's on there pretty tight from what I can see with a few spots where there is maybe a 1/16" gap at the top. And not much of a lip to speak of so running a bead will be tough if that is the solution.
TIA
Shawn
