Ceiling storage shelf? April 15, 2011, 11:07:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 6807Hey all -Anyone ever seen a storage shelf to add in where the sun visors go?I found a company that makes them for other models but not for the Kodiak cab.Also looking for ideas for a center console up front, mostly for drink cups. I do have the auto leveling system that has two small upholders in it. It's just too small.Thanks in advance.Bob in Billerica, MA09 Road Warrior RWS3400 Quote Selected

They mount into the existing sun visor mounting holes.http://www.jcwhitney.com/shelf-it-overhead-storage-shelf/p2017549.jcwx?filterid=d317y2006j1&_requestid=880678Don't seem to have a Kodiak application though. Anyone ever made one custom? Quote Selected

Re: Reply #10 – April 18, 2011, 06:52:56 am Yahoo Message Number: 6847I have a 06 Endura. I had the same problem. My leak was at the lowerleft side of the over the bunk window. I took off the inside trimaround the inside to find it. I removed the outside rubber trim {tossed it out } and then caulked around the whole window. Chuck Quote Selected

Re: front cap seal Reply #12 – April 18, 2011, 08:16:44 am Yahoo Message Number: 6850the forward end of the bunk doesn't get wet, but the back end by the lift out panel does, so I'm thinking it's the joint.Thanks allMorrigan To: KodiakChassisClassC@yahoogroups.comFrom: ronjhall@...Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 10:03:22 +0000Subject: [KodiakChassisClassC] front cap sealClean up the area seam as best as you can.

Re: front cap seal Reply #13 – April 18, 2011, 12:39:45 pm Yahoo Message Number: 6852I had a problem with mine and it turned out to be the front window, I put a alum. sun shade up in window instead of using what came with coach. I found out later that is a no-no as it magnifies the heat and it melted all the window seals around and in window itself. Company said never seen one cooked that bad !!! after replacing entire front window assembly all (knock on wood) is ok again.Gary Quote Selected
