We have been attempting to correct a small leak at the bottom of the passenger side front window. We replaced the track seals and caulked around the window. We still have a small leak. Recently we believe we discovered where the water is coming in. There is a body seam in the fiberglass that runs down just behind the window and it looks like there is a small crack down the seam just behind the window and we believe that's where the water is getting in. The water appears along the aft bottom portion of the window on the inside of the coach. The PO globbed a bunch of caulk there but it didn't work or has quite working.

We would like to seal the body seam and are about to use some exterior cream colored silicon caulk. Before we do is there something better? Our coach is the cream colored 77 Kinglsey. Someday we would like to put new paint on it. As always your input is greatly appreciated.

We also replaced all the seals on all the roof running lights so we're fairly certain the water isn't coming in through those.
