    Hi BB,
    I'm curious if you've ever noticed standing water on top of your slides after a serious downpour ??
    I've found that my galley slide has a 1/8"+ downwards bow in roof that puddles water until the slide is brought in.
    This worries me as standing water has a dubious way of breaching the best of roof sealant tapes, especially over time.

    Michael, I did notice standing water on the slide toppers frequently before removing them. Since I have removed the slide toppers, we have not had any rain, so I cannot speak to standing water on the slides. I sure will be checking them after a rain.

    Update: Have not had the problem since. Dealer said it was a seal at the bottom of the slide, which they fixed. That said, i don’t recall closing the slides after a heavy rain. We haven’t been moving much lately.
