Framless window leak SOLVED!!! by Rdcd

I’m new to this site and had a hard time learning how to post, so excuse me if it’s in the wrong place. I’m writhing about the new fram less windows that leak. Mine did the same thing by the din rm table in our 36fws, 2009 model. Couldn’t figure it out for the life of me! Water getting in, and puddling in the trough, as I read many outhers who this happened to. I looked real close behind the glass on the outside were it meets the fiberglass. And with a surefire flashlight I saw in the upper left corner behind the glass the chips in the fiberglass were it was cut out for the window. The gasket was missing by about 10 thousandths of an inch. The bright flashlight allowed me to see it. So I calked the top and about 4″ down the side on top. It has been dry as a bone since.
So if your having this problem? Calk the top and side only a few inches down the side. I used a 35 year white latex calk which is easy to use and clean and works perfect for this application.
Hope I helped someone with this problem.
