| Skylight Screws Overtightened causing Cracks
Discovered that I had a leak coming from the skylight after the last two heavy rains we had. When I got on a ladder to take a close look , I found that the screws securing the skylight had been torqued down to tight causing cracks on almost all of them. There was also a crack in at least one corner. I called the dealer and they said that they've had a number of new Airstreams back in for the same problem. Might be a good idea if you have a relatively new Airstream to take a good look at your skylight. Mine took over a year to start leaking and you have to look closely at the screws because all the caulk they use to cover the screw heads hides the cracks somewhat.
