Hey guys, what is this rubber thing called that some wheelhouses have on top and tight sealed.

and how does one install it? Any help/info appreicated! Thanks.

Rubber roof membrane. You can purchase a Menards. You will have to get the glue for it as well. It comes in two different kinds. The sales person can tell you more about it.

We chose to use the latex base. It is a little more forgiving when installing it.

Do it! Nothing better. At Fleet it's about $6.25/linear foot-10 feet wide. Glue is spendy but it's forever. Glue will hold the sides but for more security wrap it under an edge so you have no holes exposed to moisture and you will never ever have a problem.

Used this on my shack with the yellow glue and it's working so great. No leaks and durable. You just roll the glue on with a paint roller and stretch the rubber membrane over it.

Overlap your siding and then cover it with trim or termination bars.

I'm not sure which glue I used, probably the cheaper stuff, but it was a serious pain in the....

For sure a 2, if not 3 person job. I wrapped the rubber over a piece of J trim, glued it, and then screwed a termination bar over the top of that. It should never leak.

yes get the yellow stuff.... I just did it a couple weeks ago. Just get your rubber up on the roof and roll it half way back. roll the glue on and roll that half back on the glue and the take a roller of some sort or a squeegie?? and press out the air bubbles. Then roll the other half back and do that side. Easy as pie. I then put my trim pieces on and cut the remaining overhang off right at the bottom of my trim piece. I used bent diamond plate for the job but it was a hassle finding somewhere to bend it and also a place to get it cheap....you can use any kind of aluminum that is sturdy so it stays straight

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
