Momentum 350m- Leak in slide
Has anyone had issues with external speakers leaking into the slide?
I believe the speakers to be the issue, as the carpet is wet directly under each speaker and extends on into the slide(during heavy blowing rain).
Thanks

I just checked mine out today after a lot of hard blowing rain and didnt notice any water leaking anywhere. Thankfully. I will check the caulking around mine later this week.

We are in the midst of torrential sideways rain and 50 MPH wind gusts on the WA coast and our outdoor speakers are leaking water into our trailer and onto our slide out floor. Fortunately (?) we have vinyl floors on our slide out so we are able to see the water. We've been putting single paper towels down and watching it wick onto the towels.
I went outside and diverted the flow of water from going onto the speakers, but that didn't help. I then created a covering for the speakers from small trash bags and silver duct tape. Gradually the paper towels showed less and less water wicking throughout the day.
When it stops raining I'll take a look at the speakers more closely to see if the grills are the issue or what. They ARE outdoor speakers, so one would expect them to be waterproof.(Ordered 7/13/20) 2021 Solitude 310GK, FBP, DP, HP, Toppers, Solar, MORryde 7K IS w/Disc Brakes

We had a very similar issue on our 323 when it was brand new. We were in a driving rain storm and the slide was leaking badly. Grand Design did a warranty repair and replaced the slide seal, everything seemed fine. Fast forward a couple years, same trailer, same campground, same site, and as chance would have it, another driving rain storm. The slide leaked again, exactly the same way!! So long story short, there was nothing wrong with our slide seal from the beginning, it has never leaked other than at this one location. I think it was simply just the way the unit was positioned on the site, the site angle, and the direction of the wind off of the lake in a very bad storm. Not saying this is your issue, but probably more likely than not.
I do not see how the speakers can leak that much water to soak carpet unless there is some installation issue. Easy to check by just pulling the speaker and looking for moisture. Water leaks are difficult to track, where the water exits in the trailer generally does not mean that is where the leak is.
