   I removed the entire window. Cleaned the weather stripping with silicone and am going to use some black silicone around the frame of the pod so if it leaks again, it doesn't go behind the walls.
Any other tips before re-installing the window?

What can I do about teh seal where the windows come together? Though I don't know it was that, because I specifically did a test where I only got the outside of the window wet, not the face, and it was leaking.

	Check the seal where the sliding windows come together.. That is the most usual problem.

	2018 171. Found a small leak from the driver side dinnette window. Would start at the bottom of the window and drip down. I believed the leak was coming from a bad seal at the TOP of the window on the exterior. (I could push on it from the outside, and there was a small amount of movement. Got the valance and blinds off. Kind of a pain. Checked all scews, all were tight EXCEPT the center top screw. It was stripped. Could one screw cause a leak? I hope so. Going to find a fatter screw and tighten it up. I think I am going to run some black rubber silicone on top of the window just in case. (Might do that to all.)
