Posting this for those with leaking sliding windows. Look at this months
Truck Camper Magazines Mod Contest #7. Looks like a simple fix to the problem.
I voted for this one. See below:
Our new camper has a front window behind the cab of the truck. The window is a standard Hehr window with weep holes at the bottom of the frame.
When we drive down the highway in a heavy rain, the weep holes let the rain water into the camper. The RV stores have a plastic cover that will keep out some of the water, but a simple piece of tape over the holes will (a) let condensation water drip out and (
keep the driving rain out.
I used Gorilla tape, but duct tape should also work. I cut a piece of tape three inches long and cut notches out of tape 1¼-inch long by ⅜-inch wide as shown in the picture.
I folded the small end where it will keep the tape from sticking to the frame of the window. When I applied the tape to the window frame I kept the center away from the frame to form a channel for the water to drip out.
Make sure that the sticky part is applied above the weep hole so the hole is not sealed. The tape channel is long enough to keep the driving rain out of the camper.
After the mod, there are no rain leaks. It works great!
It took me half an hour to complete this modification and cost me a few cents. In my opinion, the skill level of this modification is easy.
