    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 at 2:19pm
Bought this pod new last November. It was raining on the day we took possession, which turned out to be good. My better half noticed what appeared to be moisture stains on the accordion blind over the front window over the bed. The dealer rep and I investigated and sure enough, there was some water infiltration. The dealer fixed by resealling the window with silicone. On our first camping trio a week later it rained for a full day, hard. No water leak.
Fast forward 9 months and 5 camping excursions later. No issues noted after several rain storms and wash sessions. Returned last week from a long drive to the UP and here comes a pop up thunderstorm yesterday which lasted for maybe 20 minutes and not even a heavy rainfall. Restowing gear in the pod last night and noticed more moisture stains on the accordion blind. Investigate and yep, they are wet. Feels like water infiltration at the top of the window again.
Any ideas on how to resolve? Do I just need to keep tightening the screws around the window, perhaps the came lose during the drive to/from the UP? The roads, especially 23 in Michigan, were very bumpy ...

TIA!
