    This video is fantastic. I've been using my truck as a camper for over two years now and it leaks all over the place. I had been planning to just seal the inside with caulking and hope for the best. I had no idea you could take those panels right out. I am definitely going to use this as a guide for that. Thanks for this and keep posting!

    Great video, so this butyl tape has stopped all leaks. Guess i should only order this tape instead of ordering a flex seal liquid rubber sealant. Both my side windows on my topper leak.

    I need help!!!!!! whats the best possible way to put the side rear window back on? The window at the 10 sec mark of your video. i have this constant push and pull going on while adjusting the seals. I'm also using a bold flathead to get in between to help but its not enough. is there an easier way than just using all my strength to put it back on? It feels like im going to crack the window with all that force. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Trying to figure mine out and I’m stumped. Almost pissed off at it. Mine’s a two part window and half of it slides open. Weather stripping on the sliding end is coming out and I can’t just shove it back in. Got the window out of the camper shell and on the table, but taking the actual window itself apart is where I’m stuck at.

    • @FakeLegGreg
      @FakeLegGreg  6 років тому

      Yep. Those window channel felts. One of my sliding windows is real tight and hard to slide. The other one is easy to slide. Both probably need new felts. I haven't crossed that bridge yet.

    Very nice video, question, instead of two sided butyl tape, could you shoot a bead of butyl sealant from tube

    • @FakeLegGreg
      @FakeLegGreg  5 років тому

      Thanks Sammy. I had not thought of using butyl out of tube. I see that it is sold at the big box stores. I guess it would work. It may depend on the viscosity of the sealant, it may be too runny out of a tube. The tape stays where you want it.

    • @kx4sam
      @kx4sam 5 років тому

      If I may ask one more question, thickness and width of tape.

    • @FakeLegGreg

    You did not show how you replaced the seals? Why?

    • @FakeLegGreg
      @FakeLegGreg  4 роки тому +1

      The seals around the window panes did not need replacing. The seals around the window unit had dried out and cracked. I applied the tape to seal the window units. Thanks for watching.
