Trouble is repairers will only do the area showing the leak. So another area will show up later. On my Luton I have had to re-seal it every 3 years. One mistake I made was not using stainless screws to hold down the beading. The heads rusted off, so no seal!

Hello Wango, is it time to change your van! I kept thinking that every year, until I saw the prices. Regarding you leaking roof. depends on how good you are on DIY repairs. Me I would do it. As I was trained in safety procedures at my place of work.
