Replacing front metal and a roof leak!

A 2015 Salem Cruise Lite, purchased new in 2014 has to have the front metal replaced and has a roof leak. The dealer believes the roof leak is through the front marker light. The ceiling is stained over the bed.The dealer is going to pressure check the trailer for leaks. Does anyone else know of this procedure? Is anyone else seeing this peeling on the front of their trailers? My dealer tells me they have repaired several Forest Rivers with this issue.
Be it known that Forest River IS COVERING replacing the front metal and the decal, parts and labor, even though the unit is out of warranty.

I had mine pressure tested during my PDI. It's a pretty neat system. They literally pressurize the trailer to see if any air leaks from the inside out. I have a 2015 27DBUD so I will be keeping an eye on my front for sure.

I know this an old thread but did you find a resolution to your roof leak?

Thanks

Roof leak reply

My roof leak was an upper marker light, that was not sealed well at the factory.
A lower marker light, near the storage bin, also leaked but showed no damage. I have a slight water stain, in the ceiling above the bed, from the upper marker light leak. When my dealer replaced the ENTIRE front end, including the rock guard panel, the leaks were taken care of. The metal was replaced due to the delamination of the paint.

Thank you! The marker lights never occurred to me. Everything else in that area has been resealed.
