leak over cab Window?????
Have a serious leak at bunk area over cab
Replaced exterior over cab running lights
replaced all rubber molding that covers seams
Inspected sealants & they all look good
Did a water test but difficult but did not & don't want to remove interior side wall finish
Removed portion of bunk bottom including insulation
Checked window weep holes,appear to be clean,placed a razor blade tool in them & they appear OK
I know windows come in 2 sections & are sandwiched together &fastened with screws on the interior
I don't want to remove windows unless absolute necessary
The problem
I have when I place a small amount of water in the window frame at the bottom no water comes out of the weep holes
Is there a joint in the window frame it self where water could enter or is the window frame section just one solid piece with a frame on the inside to secure the window in the opening????
Just curious if leak could be somewhere in window frame & just resealing exterior may not fix the leak
Sure would like to here from all you good people who may be able to answer my question
Thanks
