| We have a 2011 R-Pod that we are taking on it's first trip. We've been in rain and wind for two days now. The front windows are leaking. It seems the door window leaks the most getting the seat all soaked. We are in Canada on our way to Alaska and I'm sure there aren't any dealers up here to help us. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks. |

One thought is that diving has a way of forcing rain in, so perhaps
sit tight while its raining. Might give you a chance to see if you can
see where it's getting in. Make sure the glass slides are LOCKED tight. If it's wet inside, run the A/C, that will dehumidify. Marwayne has installed those door windows so perhaps he can help you. If it was me on vacation, and its really leaking, I'd probably run to a hardware store and buy a couple tubes of fast drying 100% silicon and seal up everything I could, all around the windows, against the RV fiberglass and window frame. Then after the vacation redo it all the right way. The silicon should pull off easily later. |

Worst case, get a roll of duct tape and put it over the frame and where the glass overlaps, on the inside, to keep the water out until you can get to a dealer. Check the weep holes on the outside of the frame to be sure they aren't clogged up.
