Water Leak

(1/2) > >>

William Mathews:
Our 03 Contessa has a water leak that shows up above the door. All the trim above the door has been removed and resealed. Anyone else had a leak that showed up here?

Chuck Bayman:
Bill our 02 Patriot had a leak there. When we had it in for service they resealed around the front clearance lights, air horn and the wind anemometer for the awning. We were never sure which was the cause but it has never leaked again.

Gerald Farris:
The most common cause for a water high in the front of a coach is a crack (sun damage) in one or all of the clearance lights. Sealing around the clearance lights is only a temporary repair. If the clearance light lenses have sun cracks in them you can cover the cracks with clear silicone sealer as a temporary repair, but you should replace them as quickly as you conveniently can.

Richard And Babs Ames:
If you are going to replace the cheap clerance lights consider the LED ones as they are under $10 each and much better quality than the flimsey ones that are OEM. We bought ours from a Truck Chrome Shop. Get the ones with a black and white wire and not the screw grounded ones.

George Vukich:
We have an 01 Monterey that had the same problem.  We had the repair shop in Bend reseal the door, lights & add additional gutter drain.  Still leaked.  Richard at Bend RV Repair finally determined the water was coming from our Girard awning.  He removed it, resealed and put it back in place.  NO MORE LEAKS.
