2017 isata 3 roof leak by microwave

Hey Gang we have a roof leak, when it rains really heavily, it drips down the left side of the bottom of the microwave, sometimes it's as much as a 1/2 cup of water.Any ideas? Thanks.
We did replace aircon last year, but it was put on pretty tight?

Since your AC was replaced, that would be the first place so would check to make sure to was sealed up properly. Water seeks the lowest point and the fact it comes out by the microwave does not indicate an issue on the passenger side roof seam. I would bet you will find it’s the AC seal.

I had a bad leak behind the microwave one day after a heavy rain,
After pulling the microwave, it looked like it was coming from the outdoor speaker.

It took me a few days, and several cups of water, but I eventually found that it was behind the rubber bulb seal where the roof is attached to the sides of the coach.
The installer put a hole in the roof, left it empty, then out another screw next to it.
None of the screws behind the bulb seal had any sealant on them.
I hope this helps you.

Someday I will get a shirt that reads:
Dynamic Quality Control Dept.
