Hi Everyone,
I am looking at installing a new vent into my unit to replace a four seasons hatch. Has anyone had any success at doing this themselves without it leaking? And what sealant would you use on a alloy roof?
Thanks
Sam

I had no problem installing four seasons hatch. Used Sikaflex and made sure I used the cleaning fluid on surfaces to be sealed. I put in a hatch with double glazed centre which allowed plenty of light and no heat.
Well worth the extra few dollars.

Sikafelx is great stuff but it is very very hard to remove road dust from it. Window and glass silicone is getter and easier to clean dust from.
