A few months ago while washing the 2018 rpod I noticed a steady leak from the window running down the interior dining area.

I ignored it, it just poured rain and had to scramble to do something.
Put the cover on it.

I think I need to tighten screws as I think it is coming from the top seal. How do I remove the window shades?

Easy to remove - two screws on the top, two on the bottom (one on each side). They use Robertson (square drive) screws but in a pinch a Phillips driver will work.

Ok. I couldn't see any screw heads at first glance, but I was in panic mode.

I will look harder.

I took a look again, and do see how the blind fabric valance is screwed in, but the screws are UNDER the fabric.

So I am not sure how to remove them. Any help is appreciated, I have to get this leak fixed.
