Thanks for that Admin- now how about repairing Engel for me- bloody thing has died- $700 for a new total compressor thingamegig. What the hell is the 3rd thing going to be in first week of trip. really not happy how Jan

[Macca]

Got Engel back, checked last night before hitting the sack. Holy hell, $700 & still only on minus 4 instead of minus 18!!!!!!! Back to them on Monday with their 12mths warranty. Ugh.
pelting bloody rain here still.
Really not happy at all Jan.

I am going to crawl into a hole & hide! Bloody water is now running down from the window winder- probably where it always has done but it has NEVER shown up as clearly as this morning.It is dripping down from the back of the actual winder handle

Have we spent an unnecessary $300

Oh dear. that doesn't sound good at all Kay.

Sitting her in ours, looking at our front window/winder & trying to imagine where the water could be coming from... considering you now have the new cover outside. I would imagine the top sail track would prevent water getting to the window frame... assuming it has been stuck on properly.

Stuck on, or stuck & screwed on?

Thinking back to our Winnie. Had a sail track added above the rear window for a shade cloth attachment... it was Sikaflexed & screwed... but... the RH side screw hole had not been sealed/Sikaflex prior to inserting the screw - self tapper. Consequently water eventually dribbled into the cavity between the window & the corner of the Winnie causing minnie sideways stallegmites to form on the inside of the inner panel.

Damaged panel was cut out & replaced - under 'warranty' - courtesy of a friend in the right place at the right time.

Winnie was 4 years old at the time.

Hope your problem is easier to find & rectify.

Chuck the top sail track has been stuck, screwed, you name it so cannot possibly be coming in there!

[Chuck]

That's what I thought about our sail track... hence my mentioning it.

Looking at the winder photo again... is that the front RH corner of the van?

If so, looking at the photo of the new cover... could the water be getting in from the clearance light above the RH corner of the cover?

[Macca]

It is the right hand side but too dam wet up here to check anything at the moment

Told Bruce what you wrote- already done all lights - they have no holes anywhere- a wonder they still work

Hi Kay not a good start things can only get better, re- water from window winder ....we had that same problem with our new van last year camec replaced the winders for us as they said some part on the inside was breaking down might be worth a call to them, can't tell you if it has really worked as we have had very little rain since it was done but what rain we have had all looks good. Our repair man said that he has had to do this to quite a few windows... do hope you get it sorted...

Cheers Ros.
