I'm curious- because I recently found that my fiberglass roof was no longer sealed into the trim rail on one side of the RV and awning rail on the other side- where is the entry point for water getting into the RV from accumulation in the channel? In my case, I have no evidence of leakage inward.... but I'm sealing it anyway .... and still curious
I would assume that the mounting holes in the rail are above the level of the outside lip. So that would only leave the ends of the rail and the lag screws that might be holding the awning to the side of the MH. Or is my assumption incorrect?
I would also think that a few drain holes along the bottom the rail would be prudent. I've fired off an email to Winnie, but I doubt they'll suggest that I do any drilling.
For those that have had water getting in, has it been determined where it got into the wall or roof? BTW, on mine, I'm pretty sure that the lowest point in the channel (top of outside edge) is below the roofline.
thanks
