I know this has probably been addressed before....but please bear with me.
My tonneau cover had a minor leak. Wanting to do the right thing, I removed the weatherstripping and discovered that the previous nitwit owner, had used plumbing putty as a sealant! It was quite a chore removing it but I got it all done. I re-did them with automotive silicone sealant sealant, let it set up for two days and re-installed them. Last night, we had a heavy rain, and it leaks worse than before!!!
I had never done anything like this before, and have very good intentions, but admittedly am very lacking in mechanical skills. It seemed like a pretty simple job, which is why I attempted this job I the first place. Now I have to re-do it. Can anyone offer me some advice on how I can do it right? Snow will be flying soon here!
Thanks in advance....
