Looks a mess I have pulled the front window out of my 1993 Jayco caravan as it was leaking. To find this horrible mess grrrrr. I’ve come here for suggestions. The first 6 pics below are what the window looked like when I took it out. The silicone was terrible. I noticed the silicone had trapped water in parts of the window which rotted the frame. I have cleaned off the old silicone. So I’ll take them out and replace them. The last pics are the end product.
Questions
Should I replace the aluminium cladding, or can it be repaired
Hello @Peppers
I can only suggest that as soon as you have the window re-installed, I suggest making sure that the frame of the window is totally flush with body of the caravan. There should be a minimal gap like 3 to 5mm and you can fill this gap with silicone. Once the silicon cures, the best way to test this is to turn your garden hose to shower function and spray the window surround. If leaks still occur, you either missed a spot or the window seals are not fully installed.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
