Default Aluminum top Cobra trailers leaks - how frequent?

A few people told me that their Cobra trailers with aluminum tops
developed leaks. I wonder how frequent this problem is. Obviously
aluminum top is nice to keep it looking good, but one of the the
purposes of a trailer is too keep the glider inside dry. In New
England we sometimes get 4 inches of rain in a day. Thx, AK

1998 aluminum top. No leaks.

My old Cobra aluminum top (1987) had no leaks.

2002 Cobra trailer leaks around the front door. I sealed what I could
find with RTV and this reduced but did not eliminate the problem
