Water ingress

[fandover]

I have a Chausson Flash 28 and after a heavy rainfall I get water coming out of the front panel above the windscreen. There is no sign of leakage or damp inside it just appears water is getting into the front section then drains out over the next few days. Has anyone else with a Flash 28 experienced this,

Could be windscreen seal

Could be windscreen seal has failed.
If it is above the A pillar check the joint between this and the over cab panel.

Any photos or precise location?

Could be blocked drainage channels or a failed windscreen seal maybe?

It’s not the windscreen seal because the water is getting in the fibreglass panel above the windscreen, it must be getting in along the roof somewhere and then comes out at the joint just above both doors. I will try and upload a photo but not very techy.

The water comes out where you can see the rust mark on the joint between the two panels.

I’m guessing I need to get the joint between the two panels repealed.

Resealed not repealed

you wanna see on top, it may be getting in there and coming out where your pic is

That rust stain would suggest there is something metal in there corroding away, attachent screws? I would first try to stop the water getting in, allowing it to get out where that stain is. Clean off the stain then see if it reappears, if it does maybe wait a little longer to see if the area dries out then seal that area. If it does not dry out then further attention needed on top.
Good luck.

Difficult to see on a mobi but is the panel to the right lifting slightly and broken the sealant just to the right of the rust mark?

It does seem to be lifting - maybe by rusting screws and the sealant appears to stop a couple of inches along the horizontal join to the lower panel, but probably allowing water to run out rather than in.
