DuoTherm AC leaking water into the coach from one long bolt

We have an older 1998 Monaco Dynasty coach with Duo Therm ACs mounted on top. This morning, we noticed water dripping on the bed. It came from one of four long screw bolts holding the bottom in place...

Those long bolts are what attaches the A/C Unit to RV and compress roof gasket

They should be finger tight then SNUG (40# INCH Pounds of torque IF you have an INCH torque wrench)

BUT that old of a RV (1998 vintage) it is time for a NEW A/C Unit roof gasket
cause the water coming in is from a LEAK....old gasket/loose bolts


Universal roof gasket.....numerous models
