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.

Clean and reseal the caulking , if not bad check the roof line.

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.
