89 280 DA leaking in Aft Cabin

[hillsideshortleg]

Our 1989 280 Sundancer seems to be letting a little rain water in in the Aft Cabin on the Starboard side. Is there any known trouble spots to check first. Also there is a start of mold. It seems like I read about a chemical to use on this, talked about on this forum. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I had a similar problem with my '95 290...check the rub rail, bow rail anchor points, and the radar arch connection to the hull. All three were leaking (as well as the shower sump box) when I got my boat.

I have a 268 Sundancer. Had an AFT cabin leak. Only happened when it rained. I had to remove and reseal the windshield. If you have mold start taking the cabinets out. Sailrite has an article on homemade concoctions to remove mold and many other things.

all spots listed by everybody are great spots to check. just throwing it out there but are you positive it's related to rain? I had a leak in mine that I originally had figured rain but it turned out to be a leaking faucet connection in the head that would run behind the wall and come out in the aft cabin and soak the bed.
