leak on drivers side

Hello all, Our 2005 Monaco diplomat leaks when it rains between roadside slide and drivers window The roof trim has separated somewhat but I have silicone it well and I can't see anywhere the water is coming in. The wall between slide and drivers window is rough so water is getting in from top. Anybody have any advise on what my next move is?

Need to check around the front clearance lights and anything on the roof. Remember water will run to the low side and don't use silicone caulk because nothing will stick if you have to remove it.
Pick the best caulking here that meets your needs.

Just shooting from the hip here, but it sounds like the water intrusion point needs to be identified first. How about using some food color dye, maybe red along the roof line and blue around the door seal and say green dye around the window or other suspect leak area. Then use a garden hose outside and flood the areas to see what color water shows up inside. Once you identify the leak area, then you can decide the best method to seal.

We had a similar leak and it was coming from the driver side window. Used sealant around the frame and it stopped. Later, the window was removed and resealed when we had the fridge replaced in a shop.
