Gonna be changing my hi top to an Automes solid version, any one have an estimate on how many tubes of sealant I should order ! Also any other tips would be appreciated, ta

I asked this question to a seller on ebay who apparently specialises in camper bodywork, he recommended that I would need about 6 tubes. I've ordered 5 tubes and will footing my roof next week. Check out my thread in the major restoration forum.

Ok, excelent thanks guys, hoping to get this done whilst the weather is warm for max stickyness effect.

Thanks DBZ. Will double check the date when it arrives.

I used 3 on my van. Tintop to Hightop. I also was told that silkaflex stuff is just as good, but I took the advice of you guys and used tigerseal.

pu18 is good and a lot cheaper.

I should request the product is in date before despatch, save any problems once it's landed on your door mat.

My Tigerseal arrived today, expiry date is 03/17 so a good 8 months remaining. Happy enough with that.

Will it be at least 7 months before you even consider beginning the task? That seems to be the way with me, I've got all the spares but no time!!

The answer to that is to do what I do: Plan not to do any work on the van and you'll have all the time in the world.

Fitted my roof today, my answer is 4 tubes.
