Wayne, Thank you for your advice.
My roof is aluminum framed and supposed to be flat, but actually sags a little and water ponds around the A/C. I checked the drain holes and the back ones are resting almost on the roof. For this reason I want to build a collar around the A/C opening to raise it. This will allow the drain holes to work and also force the water away from the A/C.
I tried cleaning the drain holes and tightening the hold down bolts ( three were very loose). It did not fix the problem. The gasket may not be bad, but I want to replace it while I am up there.
I will have some help and your method of raising the A/C may the best solution.
After looking at the cost of a new shroud, I think I better remove it.
Thanks again. Nothing like the voice of experience.
