Question

Hello, I have an Elddis Avante 475 2002 caravan and during heavy rain an occasional drip of water appears at the top of the front main window (which can be opened). Do you think the seal needs replacing and if so what size seal do I need. Many thanks, Jon.

Answer

The symptons seem to indicate that the rubber seal around the window is leaking. You will need to measure the caravan wall thickness to determine the size of seal required. You will also need to measure the diameter of the bulb that the window closes against and then decide whether you need the small bulb (10mm dia.) or large bulb (13mm dia.)
