Mysterious window leak, Scamp 13.

We have a 2015 Scamp 13, which we bought used in good condition in 2018. The side windows were originally jalousie that year. About two years ago one of the jalousie side windows was slightly damaged and we replaced it with a new window from Scamp which is the slider type. In recent rain it has leaked pretty significantly, getting bedding and cushions very wet. We are not sure where the leak is coming from. Water pools heavily in all of the lower tracks of the window, and then spills over the edge into the inside of the trailer. The seal around the outside of the window frame looks pretty good as far as we can tell. Any advice is most welcome. We love our little Scamp and we are concerned about mold developing. We are hoping for the amazing expert advice we often get at Fiberglass RV.

Try running a piece of weed eater string ( or something similar) thru the weep holes

Thanks very much Floyd. It was the coin slots as you said. So glad to have that fixed and not have to worry about that leak. Really appreciate all your help and the consultation.
Also, thank you Alan. We did not understand how those windows work and the importance of having clear coin slots in the bottom for drainage!
