Had done bad weather and now getting a drip, drip from a light that is under the slide out and dripping on the couch. Pulled the fixture but can't see where it may be coming from. Any ideas?

Was warned by an ex Monaco employee that the seam tape used on the top of the slides will fail and if water blows under the slide toppers there will be leaks. He suggested I remove all the tape and replace with Eternabond.
We've had a similar problem and have fixed it by adding weather strip.
The area where we had the problem is the front corner of the left front and rear slide-outs. Water was getting under the weather striping on the top of the slide in a heavy wind and rain storm. The water found its way into the space between the ceiling and the roof of the slide.
To stop the water from coming in, I used automotive weather strip adhesive to add weather striping to the roof of the slide. The new weather strip comes in contact with the old slide-out weather strip when the slide is fully extended. It is placed so that it is on the inside of the regular/old weather strip.
On mine, I thought it was the tape that had failed.
Alas, mine had electrolysis all over. Small pin holes in the aluminum roof of the slide.
Bought a 50' roll of 36" wide eternabond and did the entire roof on each slide. A pain for sure....but it worked!
