Clamshell Leaking

CCPICC

does anyone have a solution for the back clamshell lid leaking on the sides where the running water from rain drains, I have caulked under the door and installed a rubber cover that is offered from "little guy" that they use on thier small campers.
thanks!

What year and type of clamshell do you have?  The Dutchman clamshells had a lot of leaking problems from what I gather that had to be worked out over the course of a few years.

My TJ camping group folks who create their own TDs have to extend the hinge so the water doesn't follow the lines down the side and leak. 

If you could give the year of your clamshell and perhaps a picture, that'd help target folks who would know more about this issue.

Keep us informed as you find out more. Best of luck in finding a solution!!!

Is it dripping when open? Or leaking in when closed?

According to his/her previous comments, this appears to be a Dutchman T@B. 

CCPICC

yes it is a 2010 dutchman T@B, it leaks when open and closed at the upper courner where the door fits down onto the track that holds it, I was thinking of adding more weather stripping like a heavier grade to fill the drain channel?

Yeah, I'm thinking you need a gasket replaced around the edge, if it is dripping through the channel inside. I only had hinge leaks and solved that by putting a piece of rubber over the hinge. Also, my piece of rubber extends out past the edge of the camper on both sides, so some of the water probably diverts past the side channels.
