Found majority of leaks are the windows themselves. While there are the
occasional drips from the top, the lower back corner of the large windows
pour water.
I've found the drains are clear, and it's not overflowing into the screen
channel. Would that imply it's seeping through the window seals themselves?
I'm comfortable removing the windows if need be, but is there some way I
can seal the edge externally? I watched it done on YouTube, but I'm curious
if it can be done in colder weather. I'd prefer this method for the toll
windows vs removal and reinstallation
