Leaking passenger window

[Lmadsen]

We have a 2021 Thor outlaw that has a leak at the bottom rear corner of the passenger window. We have been trying to indentify where it is coming from but it only leaks a lot when it rains. When we spray water on the suspected area it will not leak. We think it is possible that one or more of the weep holes may be plugged. We have also used a bubble dropper to put water in specific spots with no luck on getting it to leak. Just searching for ideas or if anyone else has encountered a problem like this.

Do you think the water is just going around that cheap rubber gasket they call a window track?

Check your clearance lights. My rubber gaskets hardened and let water leak down the wiring. Where is your SiriusXM satellite antenna? A magnetic attachment is not waterproof.

I had a leak on my Hurricane that was showing up on the floor in front of the passenger seat. It turned out to be a bit of faulty caulking where the front cap is sealed to the roof on the passengers side. Evidence of a leak don't always show up near the actual source of the leak.

Yep had the same issue. After pulling the window, replacing the gasket and caulking the passenger window like it was the bathtub, we discovered cracked Dicor at the front cap on the passenger side.

Ditto front cap seam curb side.

Apologies in advance. I can't find where to start a new thread, so I'm hoping some will be kind enough to correctly redirect this post.
We are on our first trip in our new MH and yesterday I discovered there were only rear stabilizing jacks. The brochure states "stabilizing jack system" which I interpreted as from and rear. In any event, this situation is very poor. We deployed the rear jacks before extending the 3 ft slide and the cantilevered slide weight overwhelms the suspension and puts approximately 3 inches out of level.
Question: does anybody know if Compasses used to have front and rear jacks? I ask that because we are also without a rear ladder. The dealer's manager said she was unaware but went back through her emails and discovered they were short of ladders and were deleting them in exchange for a whopping $100 reaction in the invoice.
Thanks in advance

Funny from what I see in the specs it says front and rear automatic leveling jacks

I would replace the seal not that expensive and something you can do yourself. I repaired my truck camper window that was leaking.

[JeffThor325]

I (think I) just fixed a similar issue on a different window. (I say think because I've only had one really heavy rain since making the last repair but so far the wall has stayed dry.) The window near my mid-coach dining area was leaking during heavy rains. I spent SIX MONTHS chasing that leak down. Here are the things I tried:

1. Cleaned all around the window tracks and inside seals
2. Caulked the living daylights around the outside of the frame
3. Installed a mini rain gutter directly above the window
4. Caulked the seam where the roof transitions to side wall

In the end, I discovered rain was getting in around the skylight over the bathroom shower. This is nearly four feet away from the closest point on the window in question and almost ten feet from where the water actually appeared inside the coach.

I found it entirely by accident while doing other maintenance.

Water travels.

I had a similar situation on my 2017 Thor Aria. I removed the passenger window, recaulked, and reinstalled, but still had same leak dribbling from along the bottom inside of window frame. Turns out a wire for the powered door awning just above the window frame, and water was flowing along the wire through a poorly caulked penetration through the wall, and dribbling through the inner and outer walls along the window frame, and exited at the bottom of inner frame.

Thor has the worst seals around compartments, if you don't fix it you will be reinforcing all you compartments. Bottoms will fall out. Partita board, rotten, 2018, I lost my fresh water tank in Transit

[Jancom707@gmail.com]

2017 Aria had a lot of water coming in that side window, a hole was mis drilled but not caulked, it was under trim by the roof line, once caulked, no more water. Best of luck running this issue down.

Our window leak cost $4000 to fix and was caused due to short factory work. Then I found another window leaking but that one I fixed myself.

Ah Yes... the "Leaking Passenger window"!!
I've read postings about so many of these problems and can add mine to the list as well! During a heavy rain I'll soak-up 3-4 bath towels of water and have puddles on the floor at the passenger seat. What does Thor say? Not Much! Good Luck finding the problem! I've had several different Tech check it out, but no success!! Mine hasn't leaked lately so I quit worrying about it, however I'm certain that the wall between the outside and the inside is saturated and will fall apart one day!
