16' Series Leaking Roof

[Rnimm]

Hi we are new members to the forum as of today.
We purchased a 2011 Expanda 16.49.3 just after Christmas and have just noticed some water damage in the left hand corner roof above the front bed.
Does anybody have any suggestions of where to start to find the leak?
I have noticed on our pop up the seals at each end near the clips seam to be a little worn when the top closes they push out a little to the side, not sure if this could be a problem
Any suggestions would be great
Thank you

Im not sure how the pop tops are put together but I had a water leak on my 9month old swan. The water was coming in through the poor silicon job that holds the corner mouldings on. As the molds sit higher than the roof itself the water would pool on the roof in one corner and slowly find its way through gaps in the silcone. I just pushed stikaflex in to the corner moulds with my finger (where they meet the roof and the edge moulds) on all 4 corners and never leaked again.

, it will be silivon failing on the roof. Ours is also leaking there and as stated it is because the mouldings are too high. You can add sealant, however, to completely reseal the roof, then a new roof is required.

I removed all the silicone on my roof and liberally reapplied with new silicone just as a precaution to anywhere that looked like an entry point for water ingress. I have never experienced any leaks and if it was going to it was out last trip to the High Country when a big summer storm rolled through.

And as mentioned concentrate on the corner mouldings.

Thank you all so much for your replies, my husband inspected the roof last night and found the small crack in the corner mouldings
Hopefully once he reseals we will have no further leaks
Thanks again
