Schwintec bedroom slide water leak.
So last year my FW spent 8 months in shop for two weeks of repairs. Under my extended warranty the side slide seals were replaced(torn by slide rails). Another sorry repair. Seal to short at top and bottom cut around track pathetic. So now I have a water leak and it is from slide when open. Water is running into my basement below the left side track shaft. I am gonna replace seals but discovered this. Each side of schwintec has a plastic pan to catch water and direct it out so I should not be having a leak. It appears the factory jammed the lower pan seal up under the schwintec column at bottom causing a dam. Has anyone removed the side star screws that hold the schwintec column to RV wall? I cannot get the bottom seal out from under the column unless I cut it or loosen the column. The seal is also lifted from the water pan and I believe is the leak point. All I can do is try and build up a silicone bead as far back under the column as I can. I attacked several pics of the garbage work by factory and repair shop. I found the pan pics on line and my bottom seal is not connected but laying on top of the bottom of pan. It appears only way to fix properly would be to remove slide.
