High top removal!

Post by Block »

I still can't sort out the leak in the high top in my T25! It seems to of been reduced by the copius amounts of sikaflex I have put around the gutters. It seems like the roof hs not been put on straight as there is a bigger gap along one gutter than the other.

My question is that I'm thinking about taking the roof off and putting it back on straight(!) and want to know how difficult this will be for a novice!

Also do you think this will sort it out.

Thanks

i've done this before: get a sharp knife and cut thru the old sikaflex, and remove the roof. then get a small butane blowtorch and melt the rest of the sikaflex away(or scrape it off). you might damage the paint on the roof with the blowtorch but you do get a clean finish.

i also think that its more difficult to put it on wonky than to put it on straight

when i put a roof on with sikaflex it never leaked, maybe you have cracks in the upper roof section where it leaks thru

Thanks everyone. Going to get up on the roof and have a proper look for cracks at the weekend.
