Has anybody experienced issues with the overcab skylight leaking as mine has started to do. I vaguely remember something about there being a modified seal introduced as the original could leak. The water appears to be coming past the centre of the roof seal where there is an excess of sealant (two large lumps) and then dripping on to the runners ending up on the passenger seat (the other half tells me doesn't want a soggy bottom). The rooflight does not appear to sit tightly on the seal in the middle as all the catches are in the corners or sides. If anyone has had this problem I would appreciate their comments on how it was resolved...thanks

    Not had any problems with ours thus far so can't really help. There is a very good Bailey Motorhome Owners Facebook Group which might be worth joining, lots of useful information there.

    As David says the Bailey motorhome group on facebook is very useful for all models of Bailey motorhomes.

    In answer to your question, yes, there is a new seal that your dealer can order and fit for you. Its reported frequently on the group.

    There was a modification to some roof seals on the new Autograph II because it was noisy at speed rather than leaking I believe.

    Hi, I've just taken my new Bailey 79-4 in for a number of warranty issues including the front skylight seal.

    Ours was whistling at speed. Bailey fit a 24 mm seal by default but when we mentioned the noise to our dealer they asked us to check the size and immediately agreed to fit the larger 29 mm seal.

    It seems to be an issue on some motorhomes but Bailey gamble on it not being an issue by fitting the cheaper 24 mm seal instead of factory fitting the larger seal
