[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 587117, member: 7956"] If one is leaking the rest will not be far from leaking either. Some caravans used a roll of putty tape that went on the aluminium, then the window over the top and it got squeezed together when it was screwed down tight. After a while that dries out and cracks. Others used a sealant, which can degrade too. The way I fixed mine was to take the windows all out, get a wire brush on the end of a drill, clean it back to metal and re fit with polyurethane. All fixed now, 4yrs plus and no issues since.
