I haven't had any leaks and don't think it is dangerously close to leaking so I don't think I will pull the windows . I have a tube of Pro-Flex I picked up yesterday and will start the process. Also in the middle of packing wheel bearings so time is short. We have already been camping but have 2 weekends off.
Now you cookin'

Same thing happened to our 2013 Roo. I took a old credit card and was able to remove most of the excess putty. Then fine tund with a plastic putty knife. Finished off with a microfiber rag and goo gone and it looks amazing. I did not see a reason to reapply any caulking as the seal is intact. What was squirting out the sides was excess putty applied during installation. I examined all around and saw no areas that were not sealed.
