It's been said that the way the roof meets the side walls. It can't leak. I've seen how that joint is made. It shouldn't. I've had a leak in the GMC that I just rebuilt on the right side. That has been driving me crazy. We had some rain coming this afternoon. So I sealed that roof joint this morning. FIXED. Bob Dunahugh

Where was it leaking inside? You are right that it shouldn’t leak or if it does it will not drip inside by the leak as there is an internal gutter. However, it can run to the ends of the gutter and leak at the ends. ALSO -
when they foam the insulation in place I have seen where they got some into the internal gutter so if it is dammed up it will leak in the middle of the wall.

Emery. As to your question on where the water is ( WAS ) coming in. Seems to have been above the door frame on the inside. With that plastic trim piece. I can't tell. We're to get 3 days of rain. So I need to camp out some in there. And see if I might find more leaks. Bob Dunahugh
