If you mean upside down based on the writing from the window manufacturer then also look at your left and right windows on either side of your Pod, one side will likely be right side up and the other upside down.

The windows usually have those weeping holes at top and bottom, they insert a piece of plastic into the top ones and leave the plastic out of the bottom ones.

Does the bottom of your window have the little pieces of plastic you can pop out?  If so just pull them and put them in the top.

 No it doesn't you think it's just safe to silicone the holes on the top maybe drill little holes in the bottom

What other problems have you had with your Pod?  This is hardly enough to declare it a lemon.

 Where do I start I'll try to be short sink faucet falling off waterlines left loose inside  so they leaked ,air conditioning mounting bolts one of them broke air-conditioner was moving around on top  sure they over tighten them when they installed them , Side of the trailer opening up  that's the big one that bothers me the most ,angle iron that holds the black tank gray tank and water tank about a quarter inch short from frame rail to frame rail with only one screw into the  The frame holding the tanks up wouldn't be so bad if it would've been flush with the frame  and put more than one self tapping screw on each side  but all the electronics have been good but they didn't put them together , bathroom sink coming loose from wall they put-screws through that realthin wood with nothing for it to tighten up to , filler hose to Clearwater tank cut on the inside where it leaked on the floor when I filled it the hose clamp they tightened it with cut the hose  that's all I can think of in the year and three quarters I've had it

FR has been known to fix major issues outside of warranty.  Even if you didn't buy the 2nd year warranty from FR, I would contact them with your list.
