97 Fleetwood Pace Arrow window leak(?)

Hi,

During a rain storm recently, I was checking our RV, and found that two (or more) front side windows had water in the channel at the bottom on the INSIDE of the RV.

I looked outside, and thought maybe it was leaking in around the window glazing, so I removed some old silicone that was in there and redid it for now.

The leak seems to be still there on one window, the other was better.

I cannot find anyplace that looks "unsealed" now. I've checked the roof above the top window and put DICOR on any "potential" spots, all the outside seals around the window frames appear to be in very good shape.

Is it possible I just have to replace the window glazing, even though nothing "looks" bad?

Picture included with circles where I found water on the INSIDE. You can see a paper towel resting in the track on the inside of the window in the bottom red circle. Also included a couple pictures of the glazing, pulled out just enough to photograph it.

Anyone experienced this? Have any suggestions where it is coming in?

Thanks!

Guessing maybe the glazing/seal has dried and shrunk over time and allowing small amounts of water all around, which then settles at the bottom. You could test by taping over all the edges with blue painters tape or similar and hit it with the hose and see if still leaks. Replace all or perhaps silicone the glazing in all around?

I think you may be right. I've ordered a couple sample strips, to find out what size it is, or what size I can replace it with, and once I find out, I'll replace some to see what happens.
