Water leak in 2016 Visa LX 30T

Greetings, we currently have a water leak coming from some where above the passenger side window in our coach.

Has anyone had a similar issue. Coach is out of manufacturers warranty. We do have the CW extended service plan but I believe it will not cover this.

I will post a pic. You can barely see the drop and it has stopped raining. I’ll post a video as well.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!


Joe

Remember that water runs along wires, framing, seams, etc. Where you see the water appear can be feet from where the leak is. The water could have found its way from way up on the roof. Many times it runs along framing ribs. Been there done that.

Check the curved part of the seam between the front cap and the roof, that was where I got water entry. The water drip appeared up forward where you took the photo.

Also, take a look at the antenna if it's mounted towards the front.

Similar to the leak on ours. The cap to roof seam was not adequatly sealed at the factory which resulted in many suspect locations for a leak. But in the end it was that cap/roof seam seal that had failed as identified in a sonic test. The fix was a VERY VERY heavy dose of the required sealant-about an inch thick along the entire seam from end to end- far more sealant than was every applied in the factory. The problem on ours was immediately solved.
