Welcome to the forum

Are you sure it’s a leak, not condensation? Is the trailer new? If it’s still under warranty I would contact your dealer ASAP with pictures.

Can you post pics of the window from the outside?

It is 2021 but warranty is out. There was a puddle right at the bottom. It was more than condensation. Had been raining hard and wind blowing. Can try to post picture of front window.

See if there is a drain slot clogged up at the bottom..
I also remember on the forum something about gaskets being reversed and also gaskets shrinking

There should be a gasket that’s on the frame, then when the window is installed, the screws are put in from the inside ring into the frame and pull the window tight.

I have found curved frames and front caps don’t play together well. Proper fix would involve removing the window, replacing gasket and re installing. You might be able to run a bead of sealant across the top and down the sides.

I'd ask your local glass shop to look at it rather than a rv dealer!

I don't have an Alpine or a front window but I do know how some of these are put together. On this trailer my back window didn't leak but the windows would not close properly. It was under warranty. They had to pull the window and found that the hole wasn't cut properly but they had just "forced" the window frame in to "make it work" causing the edges and windows not to seal as they should. You may well have something like that going on.
