Water leak

[tlk]

I have the new 15 1100 - love it. Notice though that I had water leak in the upper roof area where the lights and windshield wiper are right below where the radio is mounted. Where could this water be coming from - I am worried it will short out my radio and lights

There are some pictures floating around, I think in a thread about mounting lights. The 3 sets of 2 bolts at the front of the roof pierce the roof and the superstructure under it. Maybe one of those is loose?

Edited to say... I just looked at the pictures again and the bolts are sealed (welded?) inside the roof structure. The headliner bolts go into brackets.

Do you have driving lights mounted on the roof?

I may have discovered the source of the leak. Today I found that the roof bolts, the ones that hold the roof on and have the rubber blocks under them, may not be tight enough. There IS a hole through the roof for the light wires. I will be sealing mine with silicone when I install the lights. There is NO sealant on mine now.
