Thanks to everyone with advice on how to fix our badly leaking Vista
Views and our door. We finished the caulking (with Vulkem) today on the
worst of the windows. We also replaced the gasket around the door. I hope
we've stopped the water coming in through the windows but we won't know
for another three weeks. We need to return to Atlanta tomorrow. The caulking
didn't have time
to cure for us to check so we'll just keep our fingers crossed. The
door was not a complete success. The new gasket went on surprisingly easy.
It seemed a little bigger than that which we replaced but the door closed
all right. But, when spraying water directly at the top of the door, water
still comes in. We're at a loss on what to do next. We are hoping that
most rain will fall straight down onto the overhanging lip and will be
diverted to the sides.
When we get back to Florida in late February, we'll resume the maintenance. So, thanks to everyone with the very helpful advice. I look forward to meeting some of you at the Rally in Sarasota.
