Removing a bus emergency exit roof hatch...and how we seal them so they never leak.

Показать описание
This bus has (well, now, had) two rooftop emergency exit hatches which the customer wanted removed. They interfered with the planned solar panel locations and didn't align with the customer's plans for fan and skylight installation locations. So, the best option was to remove them and seal them up, permanently, prior to insulation and the ceiling installation.

The rivets used are stainless steel, 3/16-inch diameter. The adhesive sealant is 3M 5200...and, yes, I realized when editing that I mentioned that about a million times! I guess I just get excited by reliable polyurethane adhesive/sealants...I'm a geek at heart.

Hi my name is Tony Brown Saw your video On bus conversions. I'm thinking about buying a 45' MCI To convert into a motor home I was wondering If those busses make good conversions I spent almost $80000 on a Montana 5th wheel 2021 And I think it is a piece of junk But Before I buy the bus I would like your opinion
