Drip edging for Class C window
Whenever rain or snow melt runs off the roof and down my side window, the water comes inside through the bottom track of the window. If there is enough it overflows down the wall.
To reduce this problem I installed a drip edge above the window. I got the 1-1/2 inch edge at Lowes for a few dollars. Painted it with two coats of primer and three coats of almond spray paint. Installed with stainless steel sheet metal screws and Dicor (non self-leveling type so it does not drip).

I should have installed the edging temporarily, applied masking tape above it, removed the edging, and finally applied the Dicor. This would have been a cleaner installation, but it worked out OK.
