2017 Lance 650 Factory Eternabond Roof Leak

Inlet

Experiencing a leak around my rear Fantastic Fan (all factory Eternabond ). This is on a PVC roof. Repair suggestions? It seems most of the penetrations and cap are Enernabond from the factory. Only sealant used is on perimeter. Can/should I put Dicor 501LSW on top of eternabond or remove EB first. Also it seems EB is getting "puffy" in other areas.
Comments and suggestion appreciated. thanks

If your out on the road I see no problem putting some putty on there temporarily. If your home and have time before winter, I would take off the EB tape that has gone puffy and replace as necessary. There was a thread about this very topic on LOA "Lance of America" sometime back. Forum members were indeed describing your very problem. I think, if I am remembering correctly the repairs in question removed all the EB and installed it in a more traditional manor. I am from Binghamton and it will start icing during the nights soon enough. I wouldn't wait as the freezing and thawing of the water will make the problem worse. Good luck.

I found many articles and none were negative. I thought they were interesting.

If it were me I would want to know why it is leaking so that I can repair it correctly. Fore example a few years back, I had a fantastic fan that was sealed by eternabond taped that was leaking. I removed the tape to find the plastic base on the fan had cracked.

I used a heat gun to heat up the tape which caused the glue to get soft and was able to peel the tape off.
