We had a torrential downpour last weekend and had the rear emergency window leak terribly. Both beds wet a good deal. We ended our trip early and came home. I did not use pipe cleaners in the weep holes. I will do so now. I've cleaned and replaced the original molding on the outside about 1.5 years ago. Upon inspection of the gutter and molding on the emergency exit window, the gutter the window slides on was brittle and about rotten.
I opened a ticket with Oliver and I received a response with step by step instructions on how to replace the gutter after cleaning the trays. This included removing the window pane. So we did that. Cleaned everything up, replaced the gutter and replaced it with a product from the company Oliver suggested, steelerubber.com. The gutter is one, continuous running piece, that starts at the street side bottom and runs to curb side, up and then over the top of the window and terminates at the top street side.
Everything has been done and the new track gutter fits perfectly. But, now we cannot get the window back on track. I've tried just about everything. I've even swung the window outwards hoping to be able to clearance over the shade track to re-seat the window panes on the track. Didn't work. I've tried putting the gutter around the window first and then popping the window back in. Again, couldn't get the window pane over the last steel rim to seat it into the track. The idea being putting in the top part of the pane first, and the pushing it up and seating the bottom. I cannot get clearance over the trim of the window frame. It lacks probably 1/8 of an inch. I even attempted to put the old gutters back in, thinking the new gutters were too thick. I compared the two pieces side by side and they are exactly the same thickness, but that didn't work either. I'm so frustrated.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
