Window sealant

[Strandair]

Anybody else have this problem with the sealant used in the windows? 2009 Salem LE.

That looks like someone used an aftermarket product (not original). Is it white butyl tape that has run/sagged in heat of summer? Normally there is a caulk or sealant around the edge of the window that would prevent that and yours may be missing the sealant and that is the butyl material?

Could someone have unwisely used self-leveling caulk on there?

Obvious some work was done from porevious owner that saved a few pennies.

Time to buy a roll or 2 of the putty tape and start removing windows and cleaning them up and reinstall with proper stuff.
