You're saying your Winnebago has a partial "cap", a foot or so down the front surface. I call that feature a "Tiara" and only realized recently how helpful that feature actually is.
That's also what my 2005 Itasca Spirit has. This molded fiberglass piece is thick material (like a boat hull) that laps at least 9 inches over and all along the crowned roof's forward facing edge - following the heavy crown of the roof perfectly. This molded fiberglass piece also overlaps about the same distant downward to cover all along the top edge of the front fiberglass flat wall piece.
By the way, I think I fixed any leak potential from my cabover lights long ago. I put a round piece of Eternabond over all five holes and then screwed the lights back into place. They don't light up now but they're visually "there", with no wires leading into the wall cavity to provide a leak route for water to follow -> especially when traveling down the road in rain that is hitting the motorhome horizontally. I'm not quite sure what purpose these lights serve on a Class C motorhome, anyway, other than providing a great water path.
