Roadtrek Window Leaks
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to RVing and the forum. I bought a 2000 Roadtrek Popular 200 (fiberglass body) last August. So far it's been a 7 month head ache. Unfortunately, the rear window that the previous owner said was fixed still leaks. I've taken it to 2 different dealers and is now in the shop for the 7th time! Luckily the dealer that it's at now has only charged me for the first visit.
So far they have pulled the window twice. Caulked and re-caulked. Replaced the gasket between the frame and the fold out emergency glass. Caulked both tail lights. The leak is better but not gone. Light rains do not seem to make it in but heavier wind blown rain does. The bottom rail fills with water and then spills over to the interior.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you fix it? Any suggestions / ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
