Good afternoon everyone,

Whilst cleaning our Bourton today, I noticed two small cracks on the roof above the cab. One in the grey coloured area adjacent to the roof light which is a star type shape. The other close by on the white section near the radio aerial. Each one measures about 2cm

The pics show the location of the cracks.

Has anyone else had this or similar and how did you resolve it please? I'm obviously concerned about water ingress

Certainly get some duct tape or similar HQ tape and cover them immediately. Water will definitely get in the star shaped one.
Worry re the rest later, you really need do this now.IMHO

Definitely agree with Ian about covering it ASAP. I cut a 50mm diameter hole in my roof earlier in the year for a new TV aerial. I had this stuff covering the hole for weeks without any issues at all.
