Leaking bed end roof hingline

[Mike7]

Hi all,

Packing up the 16-49-3b the other day after a night of light rain revealed the hinge line between the hard lid and van body above the bed end canvas is leaking. Went to collapse th canvas and copped a lapfull of water.

Anyone else had this issue, any ideas on a fix or is it back to jayco for warranty jobbie?

Cheers
Mike

I had a small drip there, just put a bit of bathroom sealant on the small crack and its fixed.

Hi Mike,

We had that trouble when the van was first new! Jayco Canberra removed the door and resealed both sides of the hinge. We have been in heaps of rain since & I have had very little water pooling on top of the tent section since.

I know this reply is a bit late but only joined today, I had the same thing at front bed and sealed top of hinge with a flexible sealer not silicone. Can't remember the name but a marine grade white in colour and available at buntings, no more leaks!
