 Topic: RPOD 179 rear window questionPosted: 23 Mar 2015 at 5:19pm |
|
Just notice that the caulking n the rear window does not go all the way around. Someone with a 179: please help me confirm if the caulking should be all around the window ? The bottom portion of mine does not have any caulking or sealant.

Welcome, my side windows have a gasket no caulk, the rear window has a gasket caulking on top and half way down the sides.

My rear window on our 179 looks just like that and I haven't had any problems. I think its designed like that for drainage.
 Happy Camping |

The guy that bought my 171 kept insisting that I had worked on (or had someone work on) my back window. It came like you describe. This was after the early problems with leaking rear windows so I hope he believed me when I told him that was how the factory did it after that problem with earlier models.

My 171 has a gasket and caulk around the entire rear window. But, the window itself has a weep hole to let any accumulated water out.
