Dining slide leak

We had some snow today here in Texas and when it melted we had some water coming out of the corner next to the table. Looking at the outside I can see the area where the water was flowing down from the roof has a missing screw. Not really sure a cup of water could have squeezed through that hole? Or why the screw is missing?

Turns out the screw is broken off not fallen out. I tried removing another screw so I could see what size it is and the head just popped off. Probably overtorqued at installation. Not sure if I should try drilling it out or putting new screw alongside old one.

If anything your could put another self tapping screw along side of it.
Otherwise I would not worry about it. Now you know the missing screw is not the source of your leak , which is the real issue.

I put new screws in alongside the originals, RTVed them for good measure. Supposed to rain for the next few days so will find out.

We had issues with water in our slide in the corner under the table. I put flex seal tape on top over the tape that was there as it had spots where screws had worn holes through it. The dealer also caulked the top and sides of the windows. Not sure what fixed it but we didn’t have anymore problems with it. Looked like the factory over tightened the screws holding the windows so they weren’t sealing like they should.
