Skylight leak...water intrusion
Last weekend in heavy rain I discovered that water was leaking thru shower skylight of my 2017 Navion. Water was dripping slowly off of one screw. This was the first time I noticed any water in the RV. RV is stored under cover. I pulled the inside skylight to inspect and it became very apparent that there has been water intrusion for some time. The luan paneling in the area of the leak is junk. I called and made appt for service, but the service center can't take me in until the end of April. I have identified the source of the leak outside where the lap sealant has pulled away from the edge of the skylight...the outside repair seems straight forward. The inside repair seems a bit more daunting, but I am not sure I want the rig grounded until summer to get this taken care of. Ideally, some of the damaged paneling should come out, but I am not sure how to replace that since the ceiling padded vinyl appears to be something that cannot simply be taken down and easily replaced...appears to span several square feet, and its probably glued to the luan. I would appreciate it if someone could offer suggestions as to where to start with this (I'm pretty handy one pointed in the right direction), or just get leave the rig under cover and get ready to pay RV service labor rates.
Thanks.
