I suspected the water leak that caused water to pool in the headliner in front of the Fridge was caused by a leak in the pod area.

Today, I pulled the pod and see the problem. The pod was held on with NINE philips head screws just screwed into the sheet metal of the roof.

There were rubber washers on the bottom and inside the pod that were supposed to keep things watertight I suppose but they are dry rotten and torn.

For now I put a dab of silicone over the roof holes in case it rains before I get things repaired.

Which begs the question, how are PODS supposed to be attached? I would think the screws should go through one of the aluminum cross members at the very least.
