There is no predicting when or if any unit will leak. Delams do not help of course.
Some people fret over cosmetics and the potential for problems, other just assume it is normal wear and tear and will fix it when and if it breaks.
It also makes a difference if you are camping in a hot dry dessert environment with little or no rain or a more temperate climate.
X2... I'm not one who frets. I would assess if it is water intrusion and if so fix the leak and monitor it. If it is more cosmetic, I would again check it often for structural integrity. I know some who've enjoyed many years of good use as long as water intrusion was stopped. Keep in mind I live in a warm/wet climate. I have no idea how cold would affect the situation.
