leaky LED clearance light?

Hi All,

I got my Bambi out of storage just now and (2 weeks out of warranty, naturally) and discovered a leak above the rear window that destroyed the mattress and damaged the wood underneath it.

Got the goo to fill the gap above the window... but... prior to attempting a reseal I put green tape over the seam and hosed the trailer down and still get water.

I see that the middle clearance light appears to not be in contact with the aluminum at the ends. I'm waiting for today's rain to double verify with the tape over the window seal.

Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Is the insulation between the panels gonna be wet now forever?
If I take the aluminum ring off the inside of the window does the window just come out?
any other sage advice?

thanks in advance

Had the same thing happen to me on my 2012 25 flying cloud. After much trial and error it was the clearance lights that were leaking. I sealed all around them with parabond and it's held for over a year now.
