I had this issue with my fixed rear window, mostly I think because the windows are meant to be used on a vertical surface. I used a small file to enlarge the weep holes as much as possible and give them a slight angle to help the water escape. That seemed to solve the problem for me.

I did that to the weep hole on the slider side, helped but didn't solve the problem and I didn't want to worry about the weep getting blocked by dirt etc.
The window just has too much of an angle to discharge any water build up to the exterior before it enters the trailer. I am glad I waterproofed the wood sub-sill under the window. If I ever have to remove any of the other windows I'll do the same to those. A buddy mine who has a High-Low showed me a photo of his trailer. It has a radiused window with two small fixed side panels and a Jalousie section between, If I can find who makes those that may be the way to go. |

Thanks, was about ready to order one, but I guess I'll wait. I can just hear the screeming if it leaked. Mama Paws would not be a happy camper.

Hello, my wife and I purchased a new 179 and I am looking at all these different mods people have done to there Rpod. I really like this window change out you did. We haven't taken delivery yet as it is in transit, however I would like to get a jump on what mods I want to do. By chance do you still know the rough-in size for the window? I would like to get one ordered as soon as possible. Transit to Alaska isn't always the quickest.
Thanks, Paul Hansmeyer
