Bad storm or bad A/C seal?

<< < (2/2)

Paul Schwalen:
We have a 03 Contessa and about a year ago we had the same problem and found that the ac shroud had developed a crack in one corner and the water somehow infiltrated and caused a large drip in the bedroom in the middle of the night.  The next morning I put some blue tape over the crack and continued our trip.  After arriving home and checking out the cost for new shrouds I decided to repair the cracks (actually upon close inspection there were 4 cracks between both shrouds).  These cracks seemed to be from fatigue at the point where the screws fasten the shouds to the frame of the ac unit. The fix was easy with a fiberglass repair kit from Home Depot that cost about $8.  We have not had a leak since.

Mike And Mary Engen:
Thanks Paul!

We will be back home in a couple of weeks and I will pull covers and inspect both units.
