I have developed a leak at top/front of my superslide on my 2022 Challenger. The leak comes inside the the rubber sweep when the slide is closed, about 8 inches in from the corner of the slide. It actually drips on to the sweep, it doesn't run down the sweep from top to bottom. It doesn't leak when the slide is open. Seems odd becasue the awning covers most of the slide when it is closed. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this. Would love to figure it out.

Pictures provided to show location of leak.

Looking at photo ,when closed it looks like the enternabond has a pucker that could be holding up sweep. Also when slide is in is the gap on vertical surface of slide the same all the way up or is top wider then bottom. Just a couple ideas

Hello, there are rubber bulb seals on the outside of the slide that are in addition to the seals you took a picture of. Take a look at the bulb seals I mentioned and see if they are compressed or deformed in any manner. They are all along the perimeter of your slide and this is what creates the seal when your slide is closed. Good Luck
