Just wondering if anyone has been to a caravan service centre to have their caravan roof resealed and how much it cost. I have a pop top that when it is not in use and is down doesn't leak but when popped has a leak in one corner. I live on the Central Qld coast and willing to travel if the cost is reasonable.
