Leaky Maxxfan

[rjbny]

We have a Ford Transit cargo van with an aftermarket Maxxfan that leaks. The simple fix would be to just put more sealant on the rim. But,.we have no way of knowing what sealant was used for the original installation. Apparently you can't apply silicone to silicone, but we don't know the composition of the original sealant.

Any ideas on what sealant we can use to fix the leak?:

I'd suggest you remove the fan and start over, otherwise you maybe chasing flies....

I agree, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

Do it right, otherwise the leak path is still there and face sealing it is a poor way to go.
