   So if the motor in your new car thru a rod with 1000 miles past your warranty, you would not complain, and just go ahead and buy a new engine? For your info the window did not leak during the 12 months. It just started to leak at 14 months and only 5 times camping. Turns out the window was installed upside down. So your saying I should just except that and not complain.

	Out of warranty is out of warranty. Now, if you can document that it was improperly installed (pictures would help), then i would think that you should pursue this with Forest River. If the dealer from whom you purchased it can also document that the window was improperly installed, it might help. However, Forest River is under no obligation to pay for out-of-warranty repairs. If they did so, it would be their choice.. I had to pay for some auto repairs that were just outside the warranty period. Should I have complained to Ford? Should Ford have covered it because it was just outside the warranty period? Ford did not pay. I had to. When you say the window was installed upside-down, are you verifying that the drainage slots are at the top instead of the bottom (the small, horizontal slots, not the single vertical seam)?

	check the rear spoiler above the window, when I was checking things out on top I noticed the caulk had open cracks which might let water in. Took it to the dealership under warranty and they put more screws in because there was not enough and re caulked the seam. so far nock on wood I have not had any problems.
