Northoak Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Hi folks. We had a big storm here in northern California and my Chinook windows are leaking! What is odd is that they are both leaking in the same places. one of them also appeared to be weeping some water from the screw in the bottom rear corner. At first I figured I should pull both windows and reseal them to the frame with butyl tape, but the point where they seal up looks quite strong so i suspect something else is causing my leak. I have a couple questions regarding this type of window where it compresses into the fiberglass frame by screwing it on. How does water get through the screw holes? my understanding is that they aren't exposed to the elements. Does water get in through the point pictured below where the alluminum frame is split? If so what would the best way to seal this be? thank you for the help! We've been making a lot of progress restoring this old rig and were pretty bummed to see our new walls get wet!
