Small leak in windows

You should not have water on the top. If you caulk and plug them then the water will stay inside the area and rot the wood or delaminate the fiberglass. There should be no water at the top it is the sign of a defective seal.

Are you saying it is unlikely to be the weep hole(s) referenced in my pictures? These weep holes came with the plug already in them. I did pull and reseat the plugs today, and ran a bunch of water over them and the seals around the window and nothing came dripping down. So I'm leaning toward this being an issue with how those plugs were seated in the upper weep holes. Not ignoring what you are saying, as it is sound advice. Maybe I'm in denial. :-) Not that I'm signing off on my tests so far. I plan to keep checking things out.

The weep holes should not be plugged. Be sure they are always clear from build up / debris. Now, My previous 14' Coachman Clipper stated right in the manual it was normal for some water to enter the the windows but the weep holes let it drain back out.

Just to be clear, I have two sets of weep holes on most of the windows. A set on top and a set on bottom. The bottom ones are unplugged, and drain fine. The top ones have rubber plugs in them. The trailer came that way. The windows that do/did have this drip issue are slide windows, and I've seen the same mention you do - some water in the track is normal.

As noted, I've done some more testing by loosening the plug from one of the weep holes on top and spraying the trailer with a light mist. After a bit, the water drips occur again inside at that top track. That was with tape covering the sealant around the top edge of the window outside. If those weep holes rely on channels, then I think it's the culprit.

I agree that I'll want guarantees that this issue is resolved, so I plan to keep an eye on it every rain and wash. And next visit to the dealer, I'll be sure to discuss in great detail.
