Default window leaks?

I have a 2002 2619 and have two windows leaking from the bottom edges. The rear bedroom just runs down the aluminum. but the dinette area window runs down the wallpaper paneling and caused it to delaminate

I already replaced the leaking roof vent so I'm not too impressed so far. The little drain holes on the outside window frame are clear and there's no water above the window so I don't think its the roof seam?

Default Leaking Windows

The only leak I ever experienced was the window over the couch on the road side. The water was coming in at the bottom edge of the window. Through careful inspection I discovered the water was actually coming in along the top edge. I applied silicon caulk around the outside top edge of the window and have not had any problems since. I would second the previous recommendation of caulking around the outside of the windows.

Good Luck.

During one of my semi regular but not as often as I should checks of all the screws and nuts I found several of the screws holding the window frame together were loose. As I was closely examining the window I did notice some moisture along the bottom edge of the frame but tightening the screws eliminated the problem.

Default window leaks

Old thread for an old problem on a new TM. We finally had hard enough rain today with the TM set up to check for leaks. Found two windows leaking, the street side bedroom window and the escape exit window in the bedroom.
Don't know yet why the exit window leaks, maybe the frame since it over laps instead to butting together. The street side bedroom window......outside frame is installed upside down leaving the drain holes at the top. This window had sticking problems and was repaired at the dealer before delivery so I can't say how the frame was installed upside down. Everything else looks good so far.

Had the same problem -- curb side bedroom window and the escape exit window in rear bedroom. Discovered it the day before we went on a camping trip -- the rear window was a really bad leak! I laid a narrow bead of caulk across the top edge of both of the window frames. Leaks stopped, they have not leaked since.

However. I also had a leak in the front shell curbside window (next to couch) which turned out to be coming from a bad caulk seal joining the awning to the roof. Removed old caulk, cleaned & dried the seam. re-caulked. -- no further leak.

Thanks Tim,
I'll have to pull the window frame, it is the curb side not the street side as stated earlier, since it is in upside down putting the drain holes at the top. If it was in right most likely would not have a leak.
