    Hi again,
    My hubby noticed a leak in the roof of our camper where there was a roof rack fitted just at one end.:mad: What could he do with it to seal it.
    Cheers

    Without having seen it, I would suggest taking out the old screw and putting in a new one. Under the screw you put a generous bit of sheet metal (like a giant washer) and you seat that in some sealant. (Don't use silikone, but rather a polyurethane based sealant like Sikaflex or what your friendly windscreen guy uses to seal windscreens). Generously apply sealant, set the washer and screw, tighten it and wipe of excess sealant.
