Water Dripping off Roof

[makalutoo]

Happy New Year!!

Has anyone come up with a good solution to divert water dripping from the roof of the camper off of the front corners? It seems like I always get a shower when it is raining and I get into my truck. I am looking at mounting a strip to divert h2o on the top corner of the roof diagonally to divert the water more towards the windshield instead.

The green lines on the overhead picture show the location I was thinking of. I often must remove snow from the roof, so I will need to be able to slide a snow broom over it, so nothing super tall or inflexible. Several ideas:

• Find a plastic extrusion that i can glue to the roof
• Run a a bead of caulk to create a drip edge
• Use some strong tape to fold an upside down t shaped profile to create a seam to divert water

Thanks for any ideas or input

This type of stick on RV gutter has been on our ATC for seven years - no sign of it falling off yet.

Thanks Taku

If I could mount it at the very top edge of the roof it may work for me. Where do you have yours mounted?

Thanks

I need to do this also and plan to put on top of the camper roof going from front and radius around past the front truck doors. Tired of getting wet also, even rolling down the window!

Let us know what you find and product you use.

This is a much better than my solution of jumping in/out of the truck as fast as I can.

I purchased this extrusion for the project. I will mount it so that the lip points out, That way when I pull snow off the roof it won't get caught on the lip. I wish I could have found one in white. Wanted something lower profile then the J channel. Thank for the input!
