Having same problem was going to remove then seal but will go with your solution as it will save alot of time and easy access for future issues. Thanks!
I am going to try this as soon as the weather breaks here in PA. My roof AC seal was already replaced at the dealer under warranty and it leaks more now than before they "fixed" it. Now that it is out of warranty, they want $3000 to do it again. I'll sell the van before I let them mess with it again.
Update. Did this fix within the last week and the van has been through a couple of heavy rains. Zero water inside. Thanks for this idea. It really works.
@@justingillott1184 About to try this as well.. did you take off any of the covers? Or did you just use silicone around the perimeter? I am a bit confused since he says that he took over the covers and then immediately says you don't have to take them off.
@@montyjcm I took off the rear cover only to allow access the the back of the front cover. Ran a heavy bead of sealant around all 4 sides of the front cover. It is 100% dry at this point. The bolts on that rear cover are a T-30 Torx by the way.
How’s the seal holding up? I’m curious about the longevity of this fix. Thanks!

@@justingillott1184 Awesome! I think that I will try this first!
@@justingillott1184 any advice on sealant types that you used (and how much)?
So you have any pictures of the job you did?
My 3rd attempt was to seal around the front cover and it worked for a while.. frustrating vehicle. The bluetec system is also a nitemare
