Leaky Window Repair

[epretot]

I removed a window to determine a method for stopping the leaks.

The arrow is showing the rubber gasket adhered to the window trim. I was planning to run a bead of butyl sealant in its place.

Sourcing the gasket is probably a pain and it seems to me a liquid sealant will work fine.

Your thoughts?

Thank you. What are your thoughts on butyl caulk?

I have used CRL 33sbl   which is a black silicone sealant. Fixed a leaking bus window 17 years ago with it and it hasn't leaked since. Had tried 2 or 3 other things before that and none of them worked.  I always have a tube or 2 of this and DiCor lap sealant around.

Don't know if this helps in your situation but I had a nagging leak at a rounded corner on rear bedroom window of my bus. Not very good at running a caulk gun, I tried an "experiment". I masked really well around the edges on both sides, shook up a can of clear flex seal. Hit it one day and let it dry. Hit it again next day and peeled masking. 6 rain storms later no leak and you can't see the clear flexseal. Will see if hold up!!

I do the same kinda thing with the tape but use a caulking gun instead and after I smooth out the caulking I remove the tape right away . use latex gloves cuz you will wear the caulking when you remove the tape . works great and because you take your time when putting on the tape it looks real good as well as it stops leaks
