Two 1999 Slide Questions

**Note to Forum Admins:  Can this post be moved to a separate thread in Foretravel Tech Talk?  It has nothing to do with the thread, "Stuck Bay Door."  The post only ended up here because I started a separate thread and uploaded two photos — but then blew away the post by accidentally closing my browser.**

This hasn't been our week!  Two slide questions, in addition to our stuck bay door:

    • We had torrential rain.  Afterward, there was a small amount of water (1/4 cup) on the solid surface arm rest inside the coach, below the front-facing window in the slide.  After the rain stopped, it continued to seep (probably another 1/4 cup).  Anyone had this experience?  Thoughts?
    • Of more concern, as I was outside looking at the window, I noticed the horizontal crack you see in the second photo below (IMG_1424).  The first photo (IMG_1422) is just to provide context.  This is at the front end of the slide, as you'll see since the top of the front wheel well is visible in IMG_1422.
    [/list]

    I'm hoping the answer is not, "Go to FOT, MOT, or Xtreme ASAP," but we do need to know what caused this, what the consequences might be, and what to do to correct it.

    Thanks to all, always.

    Xtreme, Rance. allow time, bring coach bucks. I let mine go a couple of years before I had it fixed.
