They are on the inside, towards the front edge.  Look for two small notches for your fingers to grab, one on each side.  I wouldn't put any weight on the roof other than your upper body (still standing on the ladder), it was designed with lightweight construction materials.

Newbie question regarding A/C leaks: This appears to be the freshest forum on the subject. I read previously that the filters are easy to access for a clean or change-out. Any advice on locating the filters? I suppose they are up top. Which side fore/aft/driver's/passengers. And how much weight can the top of the POD withstand if I can't reach from a ladder? I will also try changing the level next time.

The only problem I have had is that during this dry spell in the midwest the water dripping off of the left rear corner is that it attracks yellow jackets and bee"s, they get a little testy when going toward the back of the pod, We have never had any leaks inside. its noisy but better than sticking to the sheets.

Slightly changing the level of the pod was my solution also.  I tend to go for the low tech, and as long as it isn't dripping on anything important I am happy.

    Doug has it right, just change the level of the POD in on direction to run the water off. You can not get rid of the water as the A/C is working as it should pulling the humidity out of the air.   Goose

But redirecting it via a gutter or changing the level of the pod might direct it away from the offending area.

Another option is you can raise or lower the tongue jack to direct the flow front or back. A small height change can make a difference.
