    Default 'home improv'.help pls.

    Well, I live in a sh**ty mobile, my window leaks during heavy rains. I mean right through the frame, the very top of the sill, etc. I have caulked the inside last yr. The so called maint. guys 'fixed' it last year, (not really). They won't even touch now, so that's not an option. I looked, & one strip of the vinyl siding is warped, pulling away. I bought this stuff from Menards, DAP brand silicone rubber sealant for indoor/outdoor. I; have tried that foaming expanding sealant, but didn't have much sucess w/it. Thanks!

    I'd take a look at the roofing, the shingles, the sheetmetal, or whatever you have covering the roof of your home. I doubt that slathering roofing cement near the leak will be the fix you are hoping for. I wish I had better news but I can say that generally there is more to a roofing repair than meets the eye.

    Maybe you can do some online research into mobile home roofing repairs.

    Good Luck

    Thanks. It's really not leaking near the ceiling, at all. The leak comes strictly thru the window frame, & top of sill. I checked outside, & the siding just above the window frame is warped/pulling away from the house, & that's were the leak inside corresponds. I describe the prob. in detail in the Member Board section. Thanks, though. You could be right, & definately are right in saying there's more to this than meets the eye.
