Sorry you're having a problem with the spoiler leaking so soon.
Here's the pertinent warranty language: WARRANTY COVERAGE SUMMARY OF WARRANTY: Forest River Inc., 55470 CR 1, P.O. Box 3030, Elkhart, Indiana 46515-3030 (Warrantor) warrants to the
ORIGINAL CONSUMER PURCHASER ONLY, when purchased from an authorized Forest River Inc. dealer, for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase
(Warranty Period), that the body structure of this recreational vehicle shall be free of substantial defects in materials and workmanship attributable to Warrantor.
EXCLUSIONS FROM THIS WARRANTY: Warrantor expressly disclaims any responsibility for damage to the unit where damage is due to condensation, normal
wear and tear or exposure to elements. Warrantor makes no warranty with regard to, but not limited to, the chassis including without limitation, any mechanical
parts or systems of the chassis, axles, tires, tubes, batteries and gauges, optional generators, routine maintenance, equipment and appliances, or audio and/or
video equipment. Their respective manufacturers and suppliers may warrant some of these items. Warranty information with respect to these items is available
from your dealer.
The interesting part is that the language in bold, which appears to exclude any damage from "exposure to the elements", which would seem to leave out water damage from rainfall exposure. I sure hope that's not the way they actually evaluate it if the leak was indeed caused by a defect in workmanship or materials. Do please keep us posted.
I think that the rPod spoilers are largely cosmetic and probably do litte if anything to reduce wind drag. So the only useful function they really perform is likely just providing a place for the marker lights, which could be done with a single hole. Experiences like yours are making me think about just removing my spoiler and using a little light bar for the markers, at least that way I can directly access the holes in the fiberglass for sealing and inspection.
