I now have a new unique front drivers side slide water leak. The water appears to be coming down from the top of the slide on the front outer edge corner where the 2 perpendicular walls join behind the interior valances. I can see it at the top of the coach in the forward corner but appears to be dropping from the roof.
I have sealed both windows on both sides of the corner on the leading edge of the slide, but that was not the fix.
I replaced the silicon corner bead on the leading edge of the slide because it was missing, not the fix.
I have used a flashlight to look under the awning, and the air seal looks tight as best as I can tell due to awning.
The outer skin was re-caulked to the sides in the last year, and that looks good as best as I can tell due to awning.
Has anyone had leakage around the hole that the pin drops into? that is real close to where the water appears to be dropping from. I ran a small bead around it, still leaking.
I tried to remove the side window interior valance by removing the 3 screws on each side but could not get the leading edge loose, the trailing edge of the valance came loose. I was thinking of dismantling the window valances and maybe ceiling to see where the water is coming from.
I am also trying to hire someone local to help me remove the awning for further investigation.
The slide does NOT leak when in! So, like Forest on this thread, I have a 1 slide coach in rainy weather...
Ideas for next steps?
