Front window leaking

Anyone who has a new Alpine, Avalanche, Montana, or Montana High Country with the patented front window experience any leaking with water collecting at the base of the window? We were camping last week and it rained, had a puddle of water. Checked the rubber gasket around the window and the and it appears to be a single piece with the ends meeting at the top center of the window. Wondering if rain could be entering there or if maybe leaking where the front cap meets the rubber roof seam. It visual looks good any ideas appreciated?

The rubber gasket should meet at the bottom of the window not the top. When the window is installed, the inner ring is used to “pull” the window tight against the frame by putting screws through the ring into the window frame and tightening them to “squish” the gasket tight. Every window I have seen has the gap at the bottom, if yours is at the top it needs to be redone.

When we were looking for our current tt, I noticed all the front window to fiberglass caps had the gasket seam at the top. We do notice considerable condensation on the inside of the glass when we are on cooler temps. Had two days of rain on the last trip to the mountains and did not notice any more than the usual condensation. Sounds like a hose will tell what it is or you might have to look higher at the roof seam. Good luck and keep us posted on your findings.
