Forest,
Do you have little beads of silicone perpendicular to the wall that seal creases in the corners of the seal? When the seal goes around the corners it creases leaving a pretty big gap. Conventional wisdom is to put beads of silicone to fill these creases. Trace along the corner on the slide and look for small beads of silicone. If you dont find any, then there may be the source of your leak. If you dont have them, you will probably want to do that. I am not sure of the material, but Newell used something that ended up looking like clear silicone caulk....but this was definitely not water based.
Also, If you do not have them...let me know and I will draw a diagram.
Cheers,
bill
