Advice please...

 

My 2012 Yeti's panoramic roof started leaking at the end of last year, so over Christmas I stripped out the roof lining and secured all four drainage hoses to the roof outlets with cable ties and sealed them with sanitary silicone, which seemed to stick well and is waterproof.

 

All was well for 6 weeks, then following the torrential rain this week, we've got a saturated front passenger carpet again.

 

I'll check the scuttle drains and try cleaning the roof drainage tubes out, but if I do need to remove the roof lining and secure the hoses to the roof outlets again, what sealant should I use?

 

Answers from those who have done the job, please, so I know what does work, (as opposed to what might, but might not; I don't want to have to do the job a third time...).

 

Thanks

Have a read of this recent thread    

 

Thanks Smokeyjoe,

 

I had already read the thread but it doesn't answer my question; what to use to seal the drainage tubes to the outlet spigots?

 

If anyone has done this successfully, please let me know.

Waterproof stuff

sika do a butyl roof sealant which is waterproof - can't remember its code!

I wonder if the drainage tupes have actually come off again. Plumbers Gold is magic stuff for sealing leaks and actually works on wet surfaces but dry is better. It could be that your leak is from the frame which cracks apparently and there is a sealer which has been mentioned before which can be seeped into the crack to seal it without removing the roof. Good luck.
