Has anyone removed the door frame and resealed it?
Nope...ours are working as they should.
Are you sure it is the door leaking? There are a lot of water pipes in that area.

Anyway to upload some snapshots? Or shorten the video some?

At the end of the day, this has to be either the door seal or the frame work. If the door seal has been replaced twice already, it might be time to remove and reseal the entire door frame. Also ensure the door panel is flat and not bulged. Thanks for the pictures.
You could remove the 2 screws from the hinge and slide the door up to remove from the hinge and try and lay on a flat surface to flatten it out a bit. The door itself should apply pressure to the 2 raised ribs on the rubber seal especially at the top.

Where did the paint wear on the hinge come from on one of your pictures? Is all of your hardware tight? Also in one of your pictures, it looks like the seal is worn/crushed pretty hard in the upper left corner and the top portion of the seal looks unworn/uncrushed. If this is a picture of the second seal replacement, I would think you might have a warped door that needs to be addressed. I would just bite the bullet and remove the frame and reseal, remove the door and check for flatness and ensure that seal is serviceable.

Glad I found this post. Saturday , July 12th, '25, after a heavy rain, I found out our outdoor kitchen area (grill and fridge) had water in it. New 2025 All Access 30BH. Door was securely closed. I put painters tape all around the door frame, overlapping it to cover the entire frame. Rained again yesterday, no leak. I guess I'm taking the bay door off to check if they actually put a gasket on or not. Issue #3 with this brand new unit.

As ToddF states above, our compartment door was leaking and the fix was to raise the hinge side of the door to fit higher in the frame to make better contact with the gasket. We had ours adjusted at the Rally by removing the two small hinge screws that hold the hinge pin. they were able to adjust the door up closing the gap between the door and frame at the top. Worked great, no more water intrusion!
Good luck,

I set up a camera in the compartment, per wife's suggestion, and filmed the leak as I used a water hose to hose it down. To me, the frame was never caulked or no rubber gasket installed on the trailers body prior to the door install, not sure. Here are 2 videos I took. At first, Alliance told me that Lippart wanted videos. I'm like how am I going to take videos from in side? My frustration has clogged my thinking so the wife had to do some of for me!

Not sure, it's been there just never paid mind to it. The seals were never replaced, and the door isn't warped that I can tell. Will wait till I hear from Alliance on the videos I posted.
