Driver window leak on Bay Star

[padre44]

Another problem on my 2011 Bay Star 2901: Noticed after rain that water is in the bottom track on the driver side window. Can't tell where its coming in. I'm afraid that it will run inside the wall and cause problems. Any others have that issue?

NOPE - not on our 08 Bay Star.

Sounds like what we had on our 2011 Ventana. The kind folks here guided me to a solution: clean out the weepholes. I used a fuzzy stick (aka pipe cleaner) and that did the job. No more water in the track.

Check and see if they didn't leave electrical tape over the outside weep holes. I've seen a couple of them like that.

Thanks, but I'm interested in knowing where the water is getting in. I don't see any obvious places, but there is a lot of rubber around the window and it must be getting in somewhere. I'll have to get up on a ladder and look more closely.

The water in ours was coming down the window on the outside, running into the track at the bottom of the window, and then coming in through the area where the two windows meet in the track. In very heavy rains we may still get a small bit of water in the track but 99% of it drains out through the weepholes.

Before cleaning the weepholes out, the water filled the track and ran over and down onto the area with the controls. I would sit in the driver's seat with a sponge or turkey baster and suck it up before it ran over. Lots of fun!
