I have a slide leak. Trailer is 5 years old, seems to be a slow leak in bottom corner. Not coming down wall from roof, rubber seems fine around slide and has been lubricated. Slide seats in all the way, and a trough is in good shape about 3/4" above slide. At repair shop, charged 11 hours now, and when i went to pick it up friday, there was some moisture from overnight storm. The have :aligned: the slide, and other stuff...At my limits.... Any input or thoughts?

My experience says to suspect a leak somewhere in the location of the top corner. Just saying based on my experience with those pesky slide leaks.

Another possibility is the metal strip at the bottom where the floor attaches to the side walls. If that rubber strip is to short it will allow water to wick it's way in by the screws. This happened to me on my slide, I have to replace the slideout floor because once wet the chip board floor of the slideout fall apart. Same can be said if the rubber strip at the top is to short allowing water to wick it's way in.

Any ideas how to test/seal upper corner? corner is behind slide flash, and tucked under trough pretty good.

another issue could be a false leak. We had water coming off a window. It turned out to be moisture from the 60% humidity or higher when we get rain. Nothing to do with leaking. Pure speculation, but do consider that in any context.
