Rear Spoiler Problem

Just re-caulked/siliconed mine last month.  The old weather proofing (only 1 year old) was definately deteriorated and very gapped from the pod.  I only sealed the top/upper portion and sides, as I figured if any water did get in it would have a way out.  I am assuming the wires for the light bar are well sealed underneath...at least I hope.  hogone

Just came back from having my wheel bearings repacked and the mechanic pointed out a potentially serious problem.  It appears our 16 months old 171 rear spoiler weatherproofing is all but gone.  a real potential problem for water and soil to enter the space between the outer and inner skin.  The servicing location said it would take about an hour to remove and reseal the edges of the spoiler.  At $117/hr I immediately contacted Forest River and described the problem.  They said to take it back to the delivering dealer and Forest River would cover any repairs even though out of warranty period.  I would strongly recommend that we all check the upper and lower edges of the spoiler for any water/air gaps and seal them immediately to prevent any interior damage and/or contact FR for a warranty repair.  Probably an annual inspection going forward seems to make sense.  Hope this prevents anyone else from having a problem with leakage from the spoiler.  Our spoiler was NOT added after delivery, but was installed at the factory during the original build.  Safe Travels.
