Help With Leaky Window under Cab Over
Does anybody have any suggestions. We have an Arctic Fox 990 on a GMC crew cab 3500 DRW truck. When we drive in heavy rain our window under the cabover leaks. Arctic Fox tells me its a vortex that is...

I had the same issue with my 990. I noticed that a lot of Lances had a gutter that diverts water to run off on either side of the bed.
I bought a piece of vinyl siding J channel, trimmed to to fit and look nice and used the thick 3M double sided adhesive to mount it just above the window. I then used Dicor self-leveling sealer to seal it across the top edge.
I think a lot more water can come in between the slider and fixed pane than through the weep holes. You'll need to open the weep holes at the bottom of the window so water that gets in the channel can run out.
We had a 4K mile trip back in May and June with bad weather every other day with no leaks. I'm not certain whether the "J" channel diverts the water to either side or if it just breaks up the wind that's forced between the cab-over and truck, but it worked great.
We had no wet step the whole 20 something days.
Good luck with it.
