framed window water leak

Hello group, I have a 2022 E19 with a bathroom window leak. From preliminary problem solving it seems to be an installation issue. I have blocked off the window and sprayed water on the side of the trailer. The channel at the bottom of the window fills with water and overflows.

Are there small oval slots in the bottom edge of the window frame? If so those can fill up with wind blown dirt and debris and fail to drain water away. They ran be cleaned or routed out with a pipe cleaner or similar device and then hit with some compressed air to get the tiny stuff. After a regular cleaning and inspection on all framed windows is appropriate. In addition stick on gutters over the windows can channel away a lot of the water impacting the bottom of the window frame.
Hope this helps

Iowa Dave , thank you for your advice. I checked the weeping holes, they are not blocked in any way. The water seems to be coming in at the top of the window.

Well it was with a shot. Perhaps the gutter application would help gif you don’t have time to attack the fix right now.
