If you have any ideas why it may be doing that it would help so much! Did you have to install any additional seals or products to waterproof the Windows? The 2 Windows that leak are our dinette Windows. Thanks!

Hi Jasmine,
I found when I was installing the two side dinette windows in my
Boler I had to pay real close attention to make sure I could differentiate between Left and Right. Butyl Tape goes on the outside flange and the drain holes in the window frame have to face down (that is they are on the bottom edge not the top). Check to see if the drain holes are on the bottom of the outside of the window frame. If they are not then maybe the window frame is filling up with water and leaking in. The other thing to check is to see if any butyl tape (The sticky/gummy grey or black stuff) is squeezing out between the outside frame and the exterior of the trailer. I tried to be conservative in my use of butyl tape but I was still surprised with how much squished out even a week or two after installation.
Hope you solve your problem and find your answer, sorry about your luck.
