I applied a bead of black silicone to the inside seal which worked for a while but now carry gorilla tape for the complete fix. I have yet to find anyone who is concerned about the problem.

This doesn't make any sense. Why didn't they replace the window? I would have demanded that the window be replaced. You don't say what you have for a coach nor the year. Are you out of warranty?

How can you NOT be concern about this problem?

Well, sitting in Montana enjoying a cold beer thinking about your solution and thought, maybe you need to try the flex seal tape? It does come in black and would match the black silicone that was smeared all around the window. It would also look better that the blue painters tape, unless your coach is the "Victory Blue" color in which case it would match perfectly.....

Yep. Me too! Got VERY LOUD and I could push out where top and bottom meet. I can tell you why it wasn't fixed right then--Entegra quoted me SIX WEEKS to get one! A black adhesive was applied at the seam. I was told it would be TEMPORARY!

The key to the adhesive is they need to use the product that is used to install windshield. It is a structural product designed to keep a windshield in a car in a accident or roll-over. It is different that a sealing adhesive. It should hold the window in place if applied to the bottom edge inside and outside and allowed to cure.
