Mine did same thing, leaked when travelling in rain. Northwoods replaced mine with a 1 piece at the dealer. Dealer said it was a known problem, especially when mounted to a new Chevy! Yep hard to believe.
Yep, it is a common problem. Dealer is correct.
My dealer told me to leave a roof vent slightly open to eliminate the negative pressure in the camper while driving, which causes water to get sucked in through the front window.
I've heard the same issue from several dealers and quite a few members in a ruck camper group I'm in.
Later remembered that the time the window leaked was the first time I traveled without leaving the bathroom vent slightly open.
When I upgraded my other windows, I replaced the sliding front window with a solid window.
I miss the slider though. It was a great source of ventilation during inclement weather.
