225 Explorer Cabin window leak
« on: August 07, 2011, 10:57:57 PM »
Hope everyone is having a good summer and using their AS.  Myself, been busy with a week in the Keys in July, Kids first open water dive and did some salvage diving with a Fortress anchor someone lost over the 4th of July ($250 anchor).  Weather was iffy, but had a great time.  Waiting to go back and trying to spend an overnight on the 225 Explorer.

Which brings me to my question...  My Explorer has a leak from the port window.  I re -caulked around the edge of the window and still have the leak.  With todays rain storm actually sat in the cabin to see were the leak was.

It looks like water is coming in from the actual window slider.  It is puddling up in the track.  and leaking pretty bad.  (See pics)  Does anyone have any ideas to maybe get a better seal without having to pull the window?  I was thinking possibly trying to caulk in the slider from the outside (it is coming from the stationary window).  But there is a rubber track on the outside that prevents getting to the stationary window.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks

Clean the track drains on the outside.  The window tracks have holes to let the window tracks drain outboard.  If the track drains are blocked, you will get water inside.  Use a brush and some water to clean the tracks and drains.
