My response is a little late, but I just read your post on your curb side slide. Hopefully you'll read this.
I've had similar problems with my '04 36B on the kitchen slide. Water wasn't pouring in but after a couple of days after a heavy windy rain there was water standing on top of the slide under the slide awning. I knew better but I didn't get up there to remove the water and after awhile it seaped through and got into the underside roof paneling on the slideout. It seaped into the wood and finally started dripping onto the counter.
I too removed the wood facing. I noticed the aluminum rail and was trying to figure out how it was attached. Apparently the water seaped in where the outside top of the slideout meets or goes under the aluminum facing. The large white bulb gasket that seals the slide when it's out does it's job okay but however Fleetwood sealed the top of the slide to that aluminum facing wasn't done properly.
You mentioned removing the aluminum facing and resealing it, also re-installing. How did you remove it and re-attach it?
Doesn't it amaze you how Fleetwood attached this stuff. Like the wood facing for example. The decorative end pieces are either glued and/or attached with staples or small trim nails. On a moving motorhome, good grief.
Anyway any information you can supply would sure help.
