We just had torrential rains down here in Florida. One of our lights started leaking! There was a gap somewhere on the roof water was getting in. Since we had recently had a satellite dish removed, we figured it must be there. During a break in the rains, I went up on the roof and sprayed the **** out of the places where the satellite dish had been mounted (dicor was used when it was done). I used the only thing I had since I only had about a fifteen minute break - Flex Seal. No more leak! Yes, it actually worked, keeping the 2" an hour rain out of my RV.
We do plan to go back on the roof to add more dicor but, for a quick fix, Flex Seal worked and I am glad we carry it.
I'd caution you that Flexseal is soluble in water and might not fix your leak permanently. Also, the place where you see water exit in the interior has more to do with the low point where water can travel than the entrance point in the exterior. You may have located the leak entrance at the satellite dish mounting location and may have not. I'd suggest you perform a pressure leak test to identify and seal any leak entrances found. There are a number of different products used for different roof materials. If you have an EPDM roof, Dicor self-leveling has had good results for a lot of RV users.
Good luck with the leak prevention.
