These things are annoying...
This winter I pulled all of my windows out (one by one) and stripped
them to bare aluminum, primed them and painted them black. Sealed them
back into the coach with new butyl tape. Sticky stuff, that.
I had no leaks before which is why I ignored the advice to take them
apart and seal those seams. And judging by how poorly the windows were
sealed to the openings I'm very surprised they weren't leaking around
the edges.
But now the window at the foot of the bed insists on leaking at those
lower seams. I've masked a 1/2" area and put a nice polyurethane seal
on the outside seam. I've even sealed in the "grooves" where the glass
run goes. Nope... both lower seams insist on leaking.
I suppose I'll be pulling this window out again and disassembling it and
resealing it. I'm so excited. Not expecting the steel screws that
screw the aluminum frames together to come out easily.
Hoping it doesn't rain for the short trip this weekend. I hate it when
I stretch and my toes find wet sheets. Takes some of the fun out of the
sound of rain on an aluminum roof...
Any pointers? I'll be attacking this in a couple weeks.
TIA,
Kelvin
