when we were looking for a van we found a nice 1 owner, but whoever had replaced the awning guide on the pop top positioned it too far in and so the tek screws went on the inside of the skirt, didnt penetrate the inside ceiling skin but leaked through and destroyed the pannelling after only 2yrs.
Sometimes you just have to take the plunge. You've got no idea how much silicon I used...

We have had it for 3 years now and so far so good, including the recent week long drenching we had in NSW.
