Upon further inspection, I found a 5th crack at the curve where the end wraps up to the roof. There is also a 6" or so bubble (delamination??) directly under the lower right hand corner of the slide opening.
This is our first experience with a fiberglass sidewalled trailer (and slideout for that matter). This certainly can't be normal. We've only camped with it 3 nights. It's very discouraging to think what we spent for this trailer to end up with this problem.
It'll be on it's way back to the dealer but I was wondering if others have had this same experience with their rear slides and what was the outcome?
Thank you.

Oh no worries, you should be able to send your unit back to forest river and be without it for a couple months... After all, you only spent a $20,000++ for the trailer... I am sorry but to me $20,000 is still a good sum of money and you should be able to get a quality product for this amount. Forest river quality to me is questionable at best... Comparing themselves to other trailer manufacturers that are horrible is not a good point to start from. It doesn't take much to be better than that...
I hope that forest river takes care of you and you get your trailer back repaired without something else being wrecked in the process. I believe I will have my trailer back to the manufacturer in the spring for some delaminating that is appearing under my fridge... My trailer is 1 1/2 years old...
