Wind noise from the front skylight

[Julia and Bob]

I have a 17 plate Bailey Autograph 75-2 recently purchased.
Traveling at 60 MPH I am getting a very annoying wind noise cloning from the front skylight?
Anyone have a fix?

I have fitted one of these in front of our rooflight and another in front of our Snipe satellite dish.

These units were made for caravans where wind noise when travelling is not a problem. Unfortunately the manufacturers have done little or nothing to address this issue when fitted to motorhomes.
I use a very simple fix, and that is a square block of foam about 100mm thick, this is placed into the aperture when travelling. Does a very effective job of silencing the vent. It stays in place if you cut it slightly oversize.

Common problem on Bailey I believe. Warranty claim usually. IIRC it may be a new seal or new clips.

David and Sally is correct. This is a common problem with the front sky light. The fix is a new seal around the window. Bailey did this under warranty claim. Did you purchase from a dealer? if so take it back to them to fix.

New Seal & One Extra Hinge all done under warranty - known issue - easily corrected.

Common problem on baileys.
Also check the window catches are on correctly.

Had this problem on Adamo 75-4DL. 1 Tried a spoiler on the awning. No good
2. Side window fairing. No good
3 Stuffed sponges up those gaps above each side of the windscreen No good
4. Got a length of15mm pipe insulation . Cut it in half length ways and fixed it to the perspex with double sided tape around each side of the skylight as to fill the gap. Curving it round to meet rhe hunge from the roof seal to the skylight edge. Horay it seem to work ..... much less wind noise.
Perhaps to make it neater you could use a large section D shape rubber to fill the gap.
But this fix only cost about £2.50
RESULT!!!!!
