Sounds like a good band name to me, but anyhow....
I've got a 89 Doka with holes in the rear corners of the roof and the gutter has pretty much gone. Its all due to previous owner leaving wet leaves up there in front of the GRP canopy. Anyway, has anyone tried, is it possible to fashion that curved end gutter profile from a length of Mr Baxters gutter section? Or have I got to start from scratch?

I'm currently cutting up a Doka. I will take pics and email them to see if my corners may be of use to you. Let me have your email or mobile if you have whatsapp or iMessage.

Be worth taking roof skin off to get to what's underneath . if you can get a roof cut with pillars you could pick it apart and fix yours

Yep, 'tis bad. Small hole through inner skin N/S. Hoping to repair that but outer has to go. Forden341 has come up with the goods. I won't be doing the welding - my skills aren't up to that, but will post progress.
[...down them pillars too] just a thought, the louvers, is that why locker doors rot away letting the uk climate in?

Sort of. O/S has a hole approximately 12mm Dia. but with what looks like a factory fitted plastic bung.
N/S has had 'work' so has gone. I'm a thinking drill a 12mm hole to match and blast both sides with waxoil? Or something else first?
