Hi, just found out that my poor old van has the dreaded damp problem.The damp seems to be around the front window only and looks as though it was via the rubber seal.I am a reasonable DIYer and was wondering if this was a task I could take on as I think a proffesional repair would just not be cost effective any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Kevin

Hiya Kevin, I did mine a few years ago on my first van, not very difficult just time consuming and a bit cramped if you have to work from inside the van. I say give it a go.

Good luck

Hi Kevin,

I started in the same position as you, and had a go thanks to Wizard and the others, so I created the website below, just to add my experience to te melting pot!!

If you enjoy this type of thing, there is nothing more satisfying than sorting it out yourself.
