2013 Leprechaun water leak problems

That just plain sucks, CT51. If I was in the same position as you, I would be ready to strangle some fool.
I can only suggest you replace that thin aluminum side strip with something wider that will apply more pressure on that seam. Then run an Eternabond strip across the roof top seam, before you tack down the roof strip with butyl underneath. Ideally, the screws get good bite on something in the wall, so that the strip can have good pressure to seal the butyl. If it is just going into foam, then I would epoxy in some anchors, or make a stainless steel flashing that I could slip underneath the outer filon skin. The SS flashing would really hold onto your screw threads and "sandwich" the outer aluminum piece and filon, ensuring a good seal of the butyl.
