3580 bedroom slide leak

Have a leak on my slide. Coming from bottom left when looking from the inside. Rubber seal look fine to me. Trailer is slightly off level though.. Any ideas on previous fixes from this group?

Check the installation tape that runs the length of the slide roof and look carefully at the seal across the top. That was the source of a leak I experienced, and caulking solved the problem in that instance.

Start by checking the top corners where the tape is. Around any windows would be next. Look for any small gap or hole where water could enter and run down inside the wall.

There are panels, about 4" wide, that run around the outside of the slide. Caulking the side ones helped, but caulking the bottom one fixed it.

Good call Dick. Just checked the 4" wide bottom panel in the rain here and cleaned the joint with a wet rag ...it's delaminated in a couple of places. Could not see it for the dirt. Thanks, will caulk it when it stops raining...

We just had a wet floor also. I found the black rubber above the slide was never sealed right. It needed trimmed just a bit to make it fit where it was suppose to be. And the silicone it. Then the antenna boot was completely off. Sealed it back on with some silicone. So we have to see now.
