Rapido V68
I have a Rapido V68 (Dreamer in disguise) that has what I believe is a leaking rear hatch. I say believe because the amount of water is perhaps too much for condensation, which I know they susceptible too. the dealer I bought it from has made one attempt but still leaking.

Has anyone done this? Was it easy? How long did it take? what do you need? Any instructions / video?
Regards,

Just had a leak fixed on that very same skylight on my Citroen based Wildax.

As I'm not technically minded I had the work done for me.

Involved removing & replacing the damp batons. Removing the sealant from the rooflight. Some mumbo jumbo about primer, etching and/releasing agent which is why original sealant hadn't bonded properly.

Most of the time taken was getting the old sealant off the roof.

The problem fitting roof lights to a panel van roof is due to the roof being ribbed, I don’t know how Rapido fill in the ribs but its an awkward job as any water settles up against whatever they used. I had to do my self build one a couple of times but then it leaked for quite a while and I had to replace the ceiling plywood in the rear of the van.
