Smile Roof Leak Posts Are BIG Help

My roof-leak shows up as an inside drip from two-light group over couch and on vinyl panel behind couch. I had re-caulked the center roof vent, after locating a leak there. Finally tracked it to a leak into the area where the right light is mounted - water drips from wire cutout and screw holes for that light. No problem with left light.

Trailmanor customer service had advised me that the roof is one piece, so the center seam on the outside cannot be a problem. Your posts opened my eyes to several reasons why water can get under the snap-on center trim and cause leaks! It's raining, now, but I'll lay down a good bead of caulk on both sides and the ends of that outside trim, when we get better weather. Should I remove the outside strip first and look for holes, or should I leave the trim alone and seal it real good?
