    2005 W900 with the 72" sleeper, the windows on the sides at the top of the sleeper are leaking. This happened two years ago, I woke up one morning with a wet head, pillows and mattress. I caulked the windows and frames with windshield adhesive, that has worked until two days ago. I can't get up there to see if it has cracked or started to pull away. But when I get home I want to pull that stuff out and use something else. What should I use?

    i would use just regular house quick dry clear silicone for windows and bath and go around the inside of the window since you said you pulled away all of the interior trim, i did my 99 classic condo and i put the clear silicone on the outside of the window hardly noticable plus i applied with my finger. you can get it at home depot, also clean out the little gutter were the windows slide in and out (they have drains that get clogged and can cause water to come in) of and blow them out with air and then lubricate them with a spray or something.

    lol, bondo over them suckers. all they are good for is letting heat. especially them two up top on the front of the sleeper.

    but really mine leaked one time, i opened them up and reclosed them and they havent leaked again. also make sure one of the rivets havent popped the top off, it will leak there.
