reb78 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I appear to have a leak at the door top on the passenger side. At first glance, it looks like it is coming round the door seal, however a closer look reveals it is coming from higher up inside. I think the gutter is leaking to the internal channel and then this is dripping down the door. What sealant have you guys had success using in the gutter? I have a brownchurch rack fitted if that makes any difference, so will have to raise that, then apply the sealant and then drop it back down.

mmgemini Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have you checked the roof about 3" back to see if the rivets have opened up ? My 110 after I took the rack off. I used Sudal Car Bond when I built the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMB Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If only a narrow crack I tend to use Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure. It's water based, very low viscosity, gets sucked into narrow cracks by capilliary action and sets clear. Because of that I occasionally need a couple of applications to block the leak. Then I usually follow up with a smear of Loctite 5368. I use 5368 because it was used on special vehicles at work and I could get it easily. Being black it was not out of place on my 110. If a wide crack, I still use both 5368 and the creeping crack cure, but put the mastic on first and let it dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Freak Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Deffo more water next time Barry. Captain Tolleys is a great product and sealed my leaks... I have a colour coded roof so it's a invisible solution for me. Only really works on small cracks though. Neil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW8IZR Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Whilst I'm sure its pilot error- I used Capt Trolleys..... cure and the firs.t time it rained it washed out. I had a little white stream running where it just used to leak water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
