Skylight seal

[buffer01]

Hello everyone,
I was curious to know why Florence was a little damp inside, so while looking for something completely different on the Dormobile parts site, I found it was missing seals. One around the outside of the roof and one around the sky light. I have phoned Dormobile and they kind of explained how it should go, but after 5 different ways, it still doesn’t look or fit right.

So does the cleaver shaped rubber channel on the left fit on the fibreglass lip, the center rubber/felt space or the outer most, right hand felt to rubber space? Or does it all fit around the perspex rim? (Which Dormobile said it didnt.)
I’ve tried every which way but none look right, they all ruck in the corners and I hate to glue them in place.

Amd on another note, would bostick superglue be ok or do I need a special glue for the corners?

Hi,
When I fitted my seal I’ve used it so that the felt piece is in the groove that is facing down in your pic. I’ve fitted the rubber to the fibre glass roof and where it goes around the corners, I’ve cut the inside section of rubber only so that it looks mitred. Do not cut the external edge

This was the only way I could get it to go round the corners and look presentable, I then fitted the felt strip.I haven’t used any glue 😀 I’m not sure if this was the correct way 😕 but it was the only way I could get it to work.

Here’s a couple of pics, not very clear but might give you an idea.
