2015 27 FB Leak showing on inside pano window

well, another adventure. 1 month ago I noticed water dripping down the inside of the curbside panoramic window. Oh, the pain! Since we are still under warranty, off 2Air goes to a close by dealership. After a week or so they thought the leak was coming from a badly sealed awning bracket or window. Apparently, it still leaked after resealing. The dealer obtained approval from J.C. to remove the storage cabinet over the dinette to locate the leak from the inside. Now the discussions are focused on removing a panel... eeeks.
So much for this week's fall camping trip.

I would think they would pressurize the interior to find the leak rather than guess. Is this on the curved window?

If it's on the curved window, check and reseal the clearance lights. I had the same leak and that fixed it.

mfrez, exactly.
it was under warranty, so I took it to a dealer.

I politely asked the dealer if they had checked the marker lights. They said yes.

The approval for the storage cabinet removal, took forever. I intervened by call JC myself and asked them to see what the hold up was. They were curious about the idea of removing panels. so they touched base with the dealer. Today, I called the dealer and they saw the leak, marker lights...... now fixed.

Now, just have to wait till they put it back together.

I guess I should have just grabbed my acryl r and climbed up there myself.

Now we all know.
