Well thought all was going too well this far but found my first real problem. I have a puddle which is making the rear cushion wet. It seems to be pooling in the rear nearside corner and spreading around that side of the engine bay cover. I can't work out where it's getting in and know its not likely to be where it is lying. Have searched around for similar problem threads but drawing a bit of a blank. Any suggestions please?

I used captain tolleys creeping crack cure. Just buy a small amount and run it around where the window seals meet the frame. If should fix if unless the seals are really bad.

Thanks. Will get some of this and give it a go

Ha ha. Only if your smutty mind works that way good luck with yours too! Still, if we discover and solve any problems now then come summertime we should be good to go and (hopefully) trouble free ....!?

I have a Fixed High top T25 and I too have a leaking roof vent. I'm sure the leak is coming in through the sealant that I used when I replaced it last year with a virtually identical new one from Towsure and sealed it to the fibreglass roof using some mongrel brand window sealant that I had left over from a previous household job. I was dead pleased with myself at having made such a neat and satisfactory job.

I'm beginning to regret using that sealant now as I wonder if it could affect the Acrylic plastic of the skylight or the Gelcoat of the fibreglass roof.

I know that for Acrylic Conservatory Triple Wall Roof Sheets a Low Modulous Sealant should be used.

Any Ideas? The fitting instructions were almost non existant with no mention of sealants to be used. I expect the removal to be a bit of a battle with possibly a broken Roof Vent or damaged roof.

The things we do for love eh?

Thanks for that advice, I'll try and get some.
