weep holes

I had my drivers window pulled a couple of years ago as the double pane needed resealing and was letting water in. After I got it back, there was still water in the sill and they said that my weep holes needed to be reset and said they had done it. The problem has never really stopped and I'm wondering just how you do it yourself, I've had it with that dealer and don't trust them to work on it again. I also found that when they put the window back in, they left a screw out and just filled the hole with caulk and I didn't notice it and now the window has pulled enough away from the coach to cause the caulk to separate and leak. That's taken care of for now, but I still need to get those weep holes lined up.
  • I talked to the owner one of the shops I go to now and he explained how the weep holes work and showed me a couple of rigs where they were correct. I went home and checked mine and they weren't even close to being correct. He showed me how to cut the felt to expose the holes and I got a couple of done yesterday. I'm working thursday and think I'll take it in to the glass place next to our bus barn and have them see what they can do about it.
    I'm also gonna check out the covers from the guy in Bend.
  • I have had all my windows resealed by Dave Roots out of Bend, Oregon and that window on mine leaks some water also from the ticket window but that is what the weep holes are for to weep water. Here is the covers if you don't have them helps to keep the wind out.
