Re: [A/S] Re: window seals



The material you need is a Par aluminum sealer, comes in a toothepaste size
tube, easy to use, just make sure you remove as much of the old dead sealer
as possible, it looks good in areas that are visable, areas on the roof can
be caulked with vulkem again cleaning the dead stuff of is critical.  You
should check your window to frame gaskets too, easy to replace, just time
consuming, about an hour per window, mostly in clean-up, if they're cracking
they should be replaced.

Hard telling where the leak from the rivet is originating, could be several
feet away, biggest culprits seem to be A/C gasket or plumbing vent covers,
then the roof vents, but due to the bucking method used for rivets and the
seam sealer Airstream originally installed, leaks at the roof seams hardly
occur, any dents?
