310RL bedroom slide leak

Our bedroom slide leaks on the rear side of the slide. Water drips out of the bottom of the vertical frame. It has leaked since new. I have tried every thing I can think of to isolate where the water might be coming in at but no joy. I used an endoscope to look inside the seal area, poured water over different areas, applied silicone at various likely locations with no effect.

I can’t find any obvious leak path.

Anyone else have an issue like this?

Cheers

Good mornino Creek,,,,have you checked your exterior windw weep holes for blockage? We live near trees,,,Doug firs,,,western red cedar,,,alder, etc. & find needles ,,spiders,, bugs,,,,sometimes build up enough to block the exterior weep holes,,,,we Use a small compressor to blow low pressure air to clean the weeps out & a nut pick to remove the debris from the tracks,,,good luck 👍🍀

Ours leaked in same place awhile back and only thing I could see was ski track side rail? I found where there was no caulking on end so caulked it there. Also had leak above door at same time and found it to be the exterior light above door. There was hardly any caulk on it.

Creek,
We had a slide doing the same thing and had corrected at the Rally. It was just along the top edge of the slide ski area on the outbound end. Revealed along the too edge and end and a little on a screw head and hasn't leaked since. Would not have believed it if I had not watched/seen it myself.
