I have noticed two tiny holes in the exterior skin on my roof, it looks like it is where there is a nail on the inside batten and it has worn through, it is aluminium. how can i fix this so it doesn't leak. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Alan.

Though not pretty I would be inclined to put a stop of SikaFix sealant on them; this will certainly keep out the wet. If it needs to be better looking use this same sealant to "glue" on a scrap of aluminium 5p size and paint to match roof.

I had something similar on an old van several years ago, and mixed a small amount of `araldite` rapid and applied that.

Very effective and very permanent, I had the van for 6 years after the `repair` and the spot was still like rock.
