    Brian I used to be a mechanic at Penske. We had the same trucks as u hall. After resealing the front of the box if you still find a leak in the same place. Then reseal the outside edge of the box. Sometimes what happens is you get a leak and it will run the length of the box roof rail to the front and drip. It's a very common problem. With the leak between the cab and the box. Those seals wear out. It would be a good idea to check the box mounting bolts. They can loosen overtime causing the box to rock back and forth more leading to more leakes. If they are loose you may need to go to a shop to have them tightened. If you google morgan owners manual and maintenance the torque specifications are listed. Lastly, inspect the box mounting bushings. They wear out too and that can cause the box to shift as well. Morgan recommends those bolts and bushing be inspected once a year.

    I've been watching your channel for years. I ordered one of your stickers early on and decided to save it for the day I got my own van. Well, this was the year. Upon opening the envelope I found a hand written note with a drawing of a van along with the sticker. I now have the sticker on my back glass and the personalized note card proudly displayed on the inside! I'm not ready to hit the road quite yet but travel as much as possible.

    Another great peaceful video. If anyone ever has a real tough leak to seal use 3M 5200. Used this many times in my boating days. This is the product they use when sealing things BELOW the water line of a boat such as depth sounder transducers. Be warned though once you put it on good luck getting it off. Can be done but boy is that work. Ask me how I know this LOL? Can also be used to mount things without screws depending on the pressure. Saw many a small anchor light mounted this way. Would not start with this product do like Brian did and use Dicor.

    I've become a fan of 3M Window Weld (the stuff they use to hold windshields in place) as a sealer. It's tougher and longer lasting than things like Dicor. One minor drawback is that it's black, so if you want it to blend with the white van you need to paint it.
