water laying in window sill.

[Beckytek]

On my 40' DC the rear window has water laying in the sill after every rain. The window is installed at an angle so the water will not drain. The window was designed to be installed vertically and would not be a problem that way.
I never open the window as the water would leak inside. The wood is water stained also from previous leaks. I was wondering how other owners had cured this problem. I was considering using thickened epoxy to fill in where the water lays so it would run off. Any ideas? Ron

Could your drill 3-5 small holes (maybe 3/32ds") along the outside of the window track, at the bottom of the U-channel? I have had success drilling these kind of small 'weep holes' in several door thresholds and window tracks over the years. It may be just enough of a drain to relieve the standing water.

Drilling some drain holes is a better idea than trying to fill in low spots in the channel with epoxy. Quite quickly the water will weep between the epoxy and window frame and continue to cause corrosion and or inside weeping.

Drilling holes was my first thought but, it would only drain very little water and there would always be standing water left. Ron
