This is the problem. The bondo Centurion put on to cover the roof seam has begun to crack allowing water to get in. Owner Close up shot of one of the cracks. Owner Yet another crack.

Owner The end of the first day's worth of grinding away bondo. Owner Holes in the roof from various antennas. These are on the list to fix too. Owner All 3 sets of holes.
