Check this out & tell me what you think.

I noticed that the tape on the slide-out roof of our new 2018 2604ws was not adhering well. I took it to the Dealer we bought it from and had a tech look at it cause I was concerned about this area leaking. He told me that this tape was not there to prevent water intrusion. It was there to protect that area from the wiper seal. He said that the seam that the tape covers is protected with butyl tape to keep water out. Then I showed him that the screws were run through the tape instead of the tape covering their heads and he said all manufacturers were different on how the install the screws some underneath the tape and some through it. He also said water should not penetrate there either because of the butyl tape. I'm thinking of removing this tape and replacing it with Eternabond tape but I'm concerned about the edge of the Eternabond tape pulling up after a while from the wiper seal brushing over it.
For some reason the pic I supplied is turned on it's side. Not sure why?

Maybe you could do a pro bono thing for all of us? I guess we could take it out of the mods pay :).

What's really ridiculous is that pics are not automatically resized by the pathetic, obsolete code that powers this forum.

If I'm seeing the pictures right, they are of the outer edge of the slideout roof with the slide open/extended.

Yeah, that's what I saw. It looks like there is nothing to stop the water running right under that piece of tape that doesn't look like it is secured to anything.

That is correct.The tape is peeling up along most of the edge.

Naw, that’s ugly. Go back and tell them to fix it, IMO.

Sorry about the pic. Here's one a little further away! It's the roof of our bedroom slide-out. Looks like the pic is sideways again.

I agree with DutchmenSport, what are we looking at? Maybe if it wasn't such a close-up shot.

I'm having a real hard time wrapping my head around, trying to figure out what I'm looking at on your photo.

Your picture is not the best, (sorry), but there is NO part of that I'd be happy with, and it sounds like your dealer is blowing smoke up your ****. 😞
