Strange Window Leak.

Have a 32' Fleetwood 2001 Bounder. Some of the sliding windows developed a leak when it rains. The water seeps out from behind the screw heads on the interior bottom edge of the window. Any clues? Doesn't seem to be a caulking issue.

Thanks!
  • My buddy and I searched his new Arctic Foxx TT many times trying to figuring out why a window always had a wet spot under it. The window had a crack in the glass (not related to leak) so he bought a whole new assembly. ($60)
    When we removed the window and inspected it, we found a tiny void in sealant that was used where the extrusions of the window came together.
  • Pull couple screws at each corner at top of window. If one side is lots more rusty than other side you could have a leak coming in from above. The water you see is flowing down to the weep hole drains from above. Easy to check out.
  • Are the weep holes (on the outside, in the bottom frame part) clean of debris? That's one usual root cause of this sort of problem.
