The only thing that worked so far was a a piece of sheet metal that went from above the window to about 1/3 of the way down. That was only held on with tape so only lasted about an hour in the down pour but long enough to prove it solved the water intrusion.

I bought a joint of white vinyl siding "J" channel, cut it to length, enough to drain the water outside the bed area on either side, and cut off the portion with nailing holes, just enough to make a straight edge.

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.
