A little dab of silicone sealant in the track will keep the seals from dropping in the track. These are the seals to look at real close if your leak is happening when the slides are retracted.

This morning I checked the bulb seals and they look good. However, the flap seal that runs across the top was folded inward on half of the seal. The other slide, the one that doesn't leak, they are folded out (away from coach). I assume those should always be folding out and simply slide as the slide retracts. Due to the width of those I don't think they are ever supposed to flip inward. I do remember hearing a loud pop a few weeks ago when bringing in the slide. That is probably when the rubber flap flipped inward. Any thoughts? I have a call into the dealer to see if they have any knowledge on this and I'll post when I find out..
