Bedroom slide still leaking

I thought I had this problem solved but inspection today after a rainfall showed we are again getting water onto the carpet between the bed and the rear wall of the br slide. It is enough water to soak the carpet and run under the bed frame and collect on the shelf at the rear of the underbed storage.

Previously we had this window caulked all around. We can see no evidence of water running down the inside wall -- it must be running down inside the wall. No problem when the slide is in.

I think I am going to have to pull the window to see if I can detect the path of the leak. I got a tip one time suggesting weatherstripping be glued to the roof of the slide on an angle to channel the water away from the lowpoint corners. Have not tried this yet but it may have some merit. Also considering wide Eternabond on the metal strip at the top.

Sam, have you had any success locating the source of leaks on yours?
