Default Re: slideout leak

*I've contemplated rainkap.com 's product to reduce rain running down the sides.
you say the outer seal was replaced and made it worse and the new seal is too short.
after you get it back...
is your yard level or the coach parked level?
wash, clean and polish all around the slides, with them in and especially out, under the slide lip.
use talc on the inside seal and maybe a proprietary slide seal lube on the outside.
make sure the slide lips top, bottom and sides are clean.
cast a critical eye all around your seals and consider what path is more attractive to water? those are the points to work on.
if the seals are cut (at the bottom) and there's a point of entry, water will use that if it's easiest.
sometimes stupid things like woolen yarn dangling under lip are more a more attractive route for water.

I know it's upsetting, however you are the best person to cast that critical eye and get issues resolved from there.
so maybe hold on to it for a bit and try a few things.
my rv has 3 slides and is very sensitive to how it's parked to prevent a slide leak. thankfully I'm in the SE.
good luck
