[VAC] Difficult window leaks

[Charcigar <stogie@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

I have recently stripped all old window caulk from my '67 Safari.I am
talking about the caulk that was above all the windows.I then re-sealed
these areas with Sikaflex.

Problem is,I still have leaks from both the rear window and the kitchen
window.I am not totally sure where the water is getting in,so let me try
and describe what I see.....the water appears to be getting in from the
upper window corners.Inside,it appears towards the upper corners of the
windows....I can feel the wetness there and can see it running down the
window lever and dripping off the bottom of it.My initial thought is
that although I have sealed around the TOP of the window frame,these
leaks are getting it where the window bends outwards when you open
it.Any thoughts on this?If this is indeed the problem,how do you solve
it?The only thing I can think of is to caulk that entire "crack"
line(right where the window opens outwards)...if so,what should I
use?Some kind of non-silicone clear caulk?I think Vulkem or Sikaflex
would be rather unsightly here.My other concern is that if I do caulk
this area,that the opening and closing of the windows will eventually
cause the caulk to fail anyway.

I hope I am explaining this ok.

Any help with this dearly appreciated...I live on the "wet coast",so
desperately need to get this under control!
