NewB?: What adhesive for rain diverters

[MissElaineous]

After driving home in torrential downpours for 5 hours and then more downpours at home for the last couple of days, I discovered two areas with leaks. One is coming in the back window and down into the u-dinette area. I checked the rain diverter above the window and it is no longer is adhering to the trailer on one side. The other area I noticed was in the storage area above the propane tanks. I think I just might use some weatherstripping for the storage area.

So my question is: what adhesive should I use for the rain gutters/diverters that are above the windows? It isn't just that back window one that needs reattaching.

Hi Miss Elaineous! Another thing to consider is a retracted awning acts like a rain gutter on the passenger side of your trailer. It collects a large amount of roof water. If your trailer is slightly nose down, the roof water/awning gutter will run forward, away from windows. If your trailer is slightly nose up, the roof water/awning gutter will flow back, where windows are located. This can flood your passenger side rear window and overwhelm it. I try to remember to have the trailer slightly nose down if rain is expected. Good Luck!
