I agree with the pressure test. But I'm not sure it would have found my leak. One of the overcab Hehr-brand side sliding windows dripped inside whenever the Tiger was parked slightly nose down.
First, it took a while to realize that that was when it leaked. Then I had to climb into the bunk during a hard rain and use a flashlight to spot the drip, which I first assumed was due to a loose screw in the frame. But it turned out that the bottom window track had been pushed forward, blocking the intended drain path to the weep holes. So the inner window track would fill up and overflow to the inside. Hard as heck to find, simple as pie to fix.
