When the sealing frame shrinks, hardens or splits, water gets in at the front and rear corners of the roof opening. Owners notice wet headliners, damp bedding in the upper bunk, water stains down the B-pillars, and in bad cases water reaching the cabinets and wiring below. The seal also stops wind noise and dust at highway speed. Original Westfalia roof seals for the EuroVan are increasingly hard to find in the US, and a good seal protects the expensive camper interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaise the roof partway and support it safely before working at the seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the old seal and clean the flange down to bare, dry paint.
