anyone else see this water intrusion?

It rained yesterday, not much, about 1/2" and I noticed some water intrusion at the lower refrigerator "hatch". It's at the location where the tabs of the cover go into the cover base. I stuck my finger in there and the wood was damp. Anyone else notice something like this on your RV?

Looks like a poor assembly job from the factory.

There doesn't seem to be any caulking between the hatch frame edge and the wood floor surface...., and also when they mounted the outer hatch frame to the fiberglass surface they didn't use any butyl sealer tape behind the frame (would have covered the exposed wood where the cover tabs slide in to the hatch frame....., and frame screws).

Guess I'll put another one on the "to-do-list".
