Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / May 2006window leak
We recently purchased a 2000 Winnebago Journey. After a heavy rainstorm we noticed a trickle of water running down the inside of the passenger window from the top right corner. It was enough to create a small puddle of water on the dashboard. We returned to the dealer who recaulked an exterior light and said he saw no sign of roof problems. We questioned whether or not the seal around the window could be a problem and were told no. Any one have any similar problems or suggestions? I have been chasing a problem like that, on our Itasca, for over a year. We had the windshield and side windows checked as well as a touch up on the capseal. When on the last trip, I noticed a little discoloration in the ceiling of the bath. The skylight over the shower has been leaking and allowing the water to run forward when not quite level I guess my message is to look all over and just not what you think is the obvious.

Use a garden hose with a pressure nozzle and spray around the window. > We recently purchased a 2000 Winnebago Journey.

I had a similar leak on the passenger side window in our 04 Allegro Bay. I found the spot where the water was coming in under the rubber gasket on the window and caulked it with some clear silicone.

He's a danged clever guy... this is what most house builders do when they try to locate a siding leak and it really works. Tip 1: Don't spray all over at once. Use a very heavy mist and keep it on a specific target for a minute or so, then wait to see whether that area leaks. Tip 2: Start at the lowest elevation you intend to test (e.g., work around the window before moving on to the roof). That way, you can be reasonably sure the leak you've found isn't from a previously wetted area. > We recently purchased a 2000 Winnebago Journey.
