Window falling out

Hello. I have a 2019 coachman Apex Nano. While washing it today I noticed the “ seal” holding the front window in place was becoming undone. I think I could grab the window and pull it out. Not sure what is holding it in place, caulk, silicone or something else, but it isn’t working. I’ll try and post some photos. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks
Harvey

I have not seen this, but I thank you for sharing as I will now watch for it on mine. It looks like it is held on with a thick adhesive like on a car windshield. Yours looks like it has melted perhaps due to heat, but that should be unlikely.

I have the same model, and the same problem. After going cross country and back last year, it was sitting when I noticed the sheets on the bed had some water stains. Upon closer inspection, I discovered the window…just like yours. Paint peeled off and the window just sitting on what was left of the butyl tape. All I have done so far is tape the outside all around the window with Gorilla tape (white). When it cools down outside I will replace the butyl tape and tape it back up around the outside.

I ended up taking mine to an Auto Glass shop, they re-installed the window and it's been fine since (about one year).
