Frameless window leaks

Hi, our 2018 28.5 rsts large rear frameless window is leaking on the inside corner. Does anyone know how these are sealed,or how to fix the leak?

I suggest you take it to your dealer. If water has leaked into the wall, you need to have that documented in case you find water intrusion damage later.

EDIT: Of course that's assuming your 2018 is under warranty.

It is 2018 and the first time in the rain.

That definitely needs to be brought to your dealer's --- and Jayco's --- attention. Good luck.

Did you ever find out what the problem was with your window? I have a 2017 with the same issue. I thought I fixed mine as there was a gap between the rubber roof above and the rear wall. I used some silicone to seal it but just the other day I noticed that it was slightly wet under the window. So I went up there and re-caulked it. So not sure if that is going to fix it or not. Looking for others who may have run into the same issue.

Do you think the window is leaking because the water comes out underneath it? It may be coming from somewhere else above the window and along the roof edge.

Do you have the radius metal between the top of the wall and the edge of the roof?

I am not sure what you mean by "radius metal". I was on my Dad's roof of his camper (2017 Cougar) and he has a distinctive metal piece that runs along the roof line on the rear wall. Looks nicely sealed up with dicor. On my 2017 317RLOK I don't have that piece.

We had our 28.5 Eagle back window leak our first trip out.....Dealer repaired.....Window seal wasn't put in correctly. No problems since. We wanted make sure the water wasn't coming from the roof so it is good to have them evaluate it.

Our Eagle has curved aluminum that goes from the top of the sidewall to the edge of the roof, maybe a 6" radius on it. There's no real support for the edge that meets the roof and if the clear caulk that's used fails then water gets in, runs along the top of the wall and ends up coming down the wall at the back. I check mine every year by pressing slightly to see if it's held in place by the sealant.
