Yup, had the same problem... the trailer is just 6 mounts old and the dealer parts guy said it will be $349. plus shipping. I told him I didn't think so... They had for two of those mounts installing slide topers (long story about putting white toppers on trailer with gray and black theme). I told him I was going to need to speak with the manager. However, I never got to speak with him as I transferred to the warranty girl who said, "got you covered, do you want us to bring it over your house and install it for you?"
Actually, as it turned out, they needed the number off the motor which was under the plastic sleeve. When I pulled it off the water just poured out of it. So, I now know what caused it fail and will make sure the new one is sealed. I guess a thousand miles of snow, slush and heavy rain will take its toll.
BTW: I tried to pull the sleeve off the front one to check it condition and I couldn't move it, it was well sealed.
