Emergency Exit Window

If you are talking about the slots on the bottom on the outside, yes, they are for drainage. If you look at your other windows, they should also have slots at the bottom on the outside.

In an emergency, you are correct that you raise the two red handles and push the window out. The window will pivot at the top but stay attached. You don't need to worry about it falling down onto the ground. I wouldn't open it that way regularly, but I did so to test ours. As for tightness, I'm ot sure. It may loosen up with use.

Stephen, I am NOT talking about the 2 slots on the bottom of all windows. Those are for water or condensation drainage? I was referring to two additional holes inside the slots on the emergency window only. They are triangular shaped cuts in the rubber you can see from the outside, and you can see daylight from the inside, a small hole...

I can't run outside and look because our 179 is at the factory for repairs. I'll have to look for those when we pick it up.
