Hi there, first time posting.
Can someone please help.
We have 2004 soft bed ends expanda. We have found when lid his closed it is allowing water to leak in. Has anyone got a quick fix as we are going away tomorrow and looks like rain on our travels.
Thankyou

I recall threads about this but many moons ago now, the source can be hard to find from bad pack to seals, if ypu have the area clean, throwsome chalk lines or talc around the suspect area, thiscan sometimesshow the leaky bit as it will leave a snail trail, big leak maybe not...have a really close look around the seal area for damage or chaff/wear marks also......piccies always help.

Of course Welcome to the Mob, dont be a stranger, so hang around add your bit and join in for a laugh.......even though we have too many Victorians your more than welcome......( duck for cover, incoming)

That was a reoccurring problem as the soft-top Expandas aged. You could try a self adhesive seal similar to that used on house doors, or probably as a last minute thing just to get by until you work it out run some duct tape over the gap.
