After pulling up the carpet and carpet pad to dry everything out it started raining again. There was a constant and defined stream of water coming from the rear corner of the bedroom slide. There were recessed area surrounding the carriage bolt head causing the water to puddle in these two areas.
Upon closer examination of the slide I had three separate issue to address. My slide topper had a small tear allowing water to enter just above the left rear corner. My slide sweep did not completely sweep to the "out" position causing a funnel effect and opening for the water to enter the left rear corner of the slide. My inner slide seal in the lower rear corner somehow got pulled away from the slide where it was originally glued (about a 3" section) and was now angled at about 45 degrees causing a huge opening for the water to directly enter the coach and have free unobstructed access to the floor.
I closed the slide until it stopped raining and did the following repairs.
- Used awning tape to seal small tear in slide topper.
- re-positioned my slide sweep to be in the correct position.
- Used glue designed to glue on outside trim pieces of auto trim to re-glue inner slide seal back in original position on slide. I then used a small syringe to put caulking sealant down the inner seal to add extra protection in hopes to won't separate again.
- replaced carpet pad and carpet
It has not rained since the repairs were made but it was obvious what caused the problem and I feel I adequately addressed the problems. Everything looks good now.
Wish me luck
