2015 (NTM), 179 Pod is leaking.  Viewed from inside facing rear window, leak shows up in the right corner on top of the counter.  Not clear if it is coming from the wall to side seal area (as side wall seems damp) or the window, or perhaps the slide.  Just discovered due to 90 days without rain in our area.  Now the rain.  Plan is to reset the rear window in new butyl and to reset the spoiler above the window.  Last will be to pull the wall to side moulding and insert new butyl putty.  Would greatly appreciate insights from anyone who has experienced this problem.

Thanks, I'll check that.  But IMHO, I find it entirely unacceptable that a two year old RV is leaking.  With modern sealants and technology, this should not happen.  Forest River says that the "seals" should be inspected every few months.  But on the rPod there is very little in the way of exposed seals to inspect.  Side-to-roof and window seals are all hidden.  If they are done right in the manufacturing process, they should last a very long time.  Certainly far longer than the 90 day warranty on the seals — which does not span the drought period some have experienced!

Originally posted by jato We have seen on a couple occasions where a leak occured from a faulty rubber strip on the top of the slide when it is extended out.  For some quirky reason it didn't roll out: part did and part of it stayed rolled under, hence a gap along the top rubber strip would allow water to enter and wreck havoc inside the pod.  Fortunately we have never experienced this, but I do check it nearly every time we extend the slide outward to make sure the rubber strip is facing out and is not rolled under.

Treating the rubber strips with Protect-All Slide-Out Rubber Seal Treatment can help the strip to dlide on top of the slide-out better. Using a treatment on the top of the slide-out's roof (not fiberglass like the main roof) can help also.

I had the spoiler put on in a recall for improper clearance lighting and also found it to be warped with big gaps where it didn't fit tightly against the roof and was filled with silicone caulk that was doomed to leak from the many screw holes.  My solution was to use EternaBond RSW-4-50 Roof Sealant Tape that I got from Amazon.  I put it on the top end of the spoiler where it meets the roof and on the two ends, again, where it meets the roof.  The bottom I left unsealed so if any condensation collected under the spoiler it had a way out.  It made it through a very heavy winter with no signs of leakage.  

Will begin by looking at the spoiler tomorrow.  I have Eternabond tape (thanks to a neighbor).  Forest River has minimal faith in its own work when it warranties "seals" for only 90 days.  Short of redoing every bit of caulking on the Pod, for a new owner there is no solution but to wait and see if it leaks!
