After the recent heavy rain it is evident that the awning rail is leaking into the van. I have bought some mastic roll and some sikaflex 512. I intended to remove both side awning rails clean both surfaces and seal with the mastic roll and sikaflex.
I asked my local caravan repair guy for advice. He told me not to remove the rails but to run sealant along the sides of the rails. He also said that the sikaflex wasnt a suitable mastic??
What do you think. I would rather do a permanent quality repair than a fix for a few months or so. I also assume that the leak could be from the screws so running sealer down each side would not help??
I have already resealed the horizontal rails with the mastic roll and apart from the odd rusted screw was fine
Cheers Mark
