‘Moulds’ if you mean the plastic decorative strips can be seriously expensive if they are available. e.g. a single plastic corner on my previous van cost £400 plus fitting, it was about a foot square. I do not know if your van has a wooden framework, latest vans do not I believe. My thoughts are to get professional advice about what to do next after you have stopped the ingress of water.

Eternabond tape would cover and seal the joint if you can't find the correct moulding, it but it's exspensive.

It would help[ if you put a photo up of the current moulding.

Hi Diablo.
The top photo shows the drivers cab and living quarters from above .
The seal or strip at the top of the skylight running across is 2.5meters x 40mm
Photo below is the profile of the seal .
Hope this helps for some clarity .

Cheers

Dh

If it was me, I would try to get the moulding off, give it a good clean and rd-bond it. Eternatape is about 75mms wide so not sure if it would be wide enough to cover your moulding.

There's a pretty obvious repair along the underside of that window aswell . I'd be checking to see if water is going in the window surround too

That moulding is such a definite step could you not park it sloping the other way ?

Eternabond tape is extreemly sticky and seals extreemly well if applied properly. It's used alot in the USA for RV roof repairs. I think the sticky bit it Butyl rubber if it is there maybe cheaper brands on the market.

Have a look at this video.
