Trusting the factory to "do a 100% roof seal" is like trusting the factory to install all the plumbing connections tight and leak free, install the molding so it fits correctly, clean the trailer to remove all the sawdust and to make sure the ductwork in the ceiling is completely sealed and all the cool air is staying in the cabin rather than the roof cavity....

You would be alarmed/amazed at what I find at PDI.
