Hi, we used cromapol on our Vauxhall movano roof after watching ur video. The leaks were coming in from the holes created by the previous owners removing a roof rack and not filling the holes. Our van is white but the eBay twernts sent us black but we used that anyway since we won’t see the roof! That repair has lasted just over 2 years but it started leaking again last fri while on a weekend break but as soon as we got home this afternoon we dug out the trusty cromapol and chucked a load over the area where the leak was (rust has formed around the original holes so it was easy to locate where it was coming in from) the CPL has now set, so fingers crossed it’s fixed again but I just wanted to ask your advice is there a more permanent fix we can do ourselves to avoid paying out for a garage? How about fibreglass?

I just fixed mine. Leaking in the same place. The caps at the back of the splines were bursted and the oil coming down the sleeve and out around the shaft. The seal only seal the outside of the spline shaft. Someone had stuck my drive shafts in with sealant. Nitemare but very fixable 🙂

Could i put this on the external wall of my mercedes 814 converted horsebox that's leaking where i think the aluminium is corroding where the sheets meet witht he steel uprights that are on the outside of thew aluminium sheets?

Did you use clart as a verb 🤣

What's the name of the sealant, can't seem to catch the name

Great info, thanks. Will attempt this when or if there is a summer's day this year. Can you also do a follow up with guidance on cleaning skylights.

Any update on if it held?

Thank you

A good tip, use slightly thicker gear oil... if u use thinner stuff it may come out of the seals... i know....done it.

I'm sorry but your accent so strong I can't understand you

Can the seal and bearing be simply replaced by removing the end cap with the 4 nuts?

Great video, how long did it stay waterproof?

I had my turbo and all the pipes changed on my vw golf 2004 and its leaking oil and didnt before it went for the replacement

Hey Mike, thanks for the video. Where can I find a replacement rail. What is the official name on them. I think it is the same as yours it's a 2001 Fiat Ducato Benimar.

Super helpful! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Hello again so sorry to be a pain. I’ve done the roof with cromapol (they sent the black not the white) but I’ve had negative comments from people who are saying it will come away in heat in summer? Please tell me this isn’t true because I did it yesterday and we had heavy rain last night and it’s worked. It’s all dry inside

Need to try this on my Talbot motorhome roof but I think if I stand on the roof it might collapse😩

Also how long would a repair like this last? Desperate for help hun my van is letting in water and getting ruined xx

Where can I buy this?

Loved this video. I was looking at your skylight thinking how on earth can you do such a beautiful job with that not scrubbed. Ive never been OCD till now 😂😂

hows it holding up

Hello Mike, did the sealant sort out the leak or did the o-ring on the drive shaft work as a fix ? I have the same issue at the moment.

For the life of me...can't get this to work 😂

Did this actually set hard where you can walk on it?... I thought Cromapol never actually set

This stuff was a game changer, I had previously changed all the seals, re did all the rail seals and still kept having a leak which just appeared on the top of one of the windows in my office converted caravan. I suspected it might be a slight crack in the fibreglass but could not find it no matter how much I searched and tested. Followed this video and the leak is gone. Have already recommended to a neighbour who has a leaking garage roof and he has used it to fix that. Truly great product.

I’m in Texas - and have been ready to set my travel trailer literally on fire because I could NEVER find the damn point on our roof where the leaks would have started or entered. In under 3 mins - you have single-handedly saved me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS 🤩 and my sanity! You are a saint among all men. Thanks, mate!

What do you use to seal the rails and around the windows? Sikaflex? I need to do and don’t know where to start 😫

Acrylic Waterproofing ?

Hi Mike, how is the motorhome doing a year on? I am looking to do the same thing as I have a leak in my van. :( And came across your video many thanks Jonny and Jenny

Thanks Mike. Great vid! Hope to find product in the States.

Thank you! :)

Very helpful, thank you!

Exactly the demo I was looking for! Not a short-cut, not a pro-job. Not patronizing, not technical-complex. Exactly to-the-point. Useful. Entertaining.

Hi Mike Thanks for the info,can I ask is there a reason why yo did not use a roller, also what was the size and strength of your paint brush please. 🐧🐧

Hi, I was wondering how your motorhome roof fared over winter? Did it get any more of the usual green mould due to the fibrous finish?

Hi is there a difference between cryapol and cromapol? Thanks

Hi mike is your roof fibreglass or aluminium ?

Hi, great informative and, funny video, would you mind telling me if its still ok, now its sept, as i was going to buy some on the strengh of your vid, but was informed that its not suitable for fibre glass roofs, probably is, but i want to make sure before i commit myself, regards bob

next on the list, lol

Brilliant video. Thank you. Just about to do my old felt roof on an extension so it was great watching a real-life video.

great video..helped alot..I guess the size of your 5KG tin would be around the size of a 5ltr tin of paint?

Good video mate,how close did you take the cromapol to the edge?

Okay, pity for us, thanks for the response.

Replaced engine and didn't bother opening up the old one in the end

Hi Mike, Did you open-up the old engine? I'm curious to know whether it was a hydraulic lifter or something else, since a friend of mine has exactly the same noise on his saab! (2.3T ecopower)

Bought a replacement engine, almost finished fitting it, will open up the old one at some point to see what happened, there was an awful lot of swarf in the sump though so something fairly catastrophic I think!

What ever happened to the car?
