Seal caravan roof hatches


Fix leaks in a targeted way - without replacing the roof hatch.

Quick overview


Roof hatches are among the most exposed components of a caravan. Weather conditions, ageing sealants and movement while driving can cause leaks over time.

Leaking roof hatches are a common cause of moisture damage. In many cases, watertightness can be restored without removing or replacing the entire roof hatch.

The goal of sealing is to permanently prevent water ingress and avoid consequential damage to the roof, walls and interior.

Typical roof hatch issues


Typical problems with caravan roof hatches

Whether sealing is appropriate depends on the condition of the roof hatch and sealing areas. This is assessed by the service workshop after inspection.

Common causes of leaks include:

  • Aged or brittle seals
  • Leaking transitions between roof hatch and roof
  • Fine cracks or damage in the sealing area
  • Body movement while driving
