To avoid distorted edges on the outside, perhaps some screw on metal trim will help to hide irregularities and help to flatten the join. If a section which has a rubber infil to cover screw heads is used,this would provide further protection for the panels...



There is metal trim all the way around the edges of the Pioneer, as you can see from this close up of where one panel has pulled away from the rear corner of the van.
Itwill need removing and reseating with Sikaflex, rather than what appears to be bath silicone!

Will need to make a good list on the recce week of materials.....sorry Allan!!!!:#

Also, I fear we may need to remove more ceiling panelling than has come down so far - it looks mighty wrinkly in some of the photos...



Quite agree with you Carl - a good list is essential, otherwise we'll all be wasting our time and efforts.

A bit like Norah Batty's stockings perhaps?

Good morning Allan,
Whilst we have the sikaflex gun to hand, we might as well take the edge trim off the other side too and re-seal it. They are notorious for letting in the moisture due to old sealant and rusty screws.....rooflight too!!!! (will have a close look beforehand though).
Do you have a good timber merchants nearby to you? It will be cheaper than getting 'indifferent' quality timber from B&Q....
cheers
Carl

Ps - at the moment: Norah Batty's stockings.....in the future: Brigitte Bardot's shaved legs;D

Morning Carl
Quite agree on the Sikaflex - there are 5 roof ports and the two holes where the water heater chimney used to be, and where it is now.

Yes to the timber merchants - Ridgeons of Cambridge.

In the future? Thought she was already there
