While walking around my RV I noticed the black rubber seals on the outside of a couple of my windows appear to be "pulling" away from the top round corners. I figured it was because my motorhome is aging, but then I noticed the newer class C next to me doing the same thing.
Is there something like an adhesive that I can apply to the seal to hold it in place at the top corners of my windows?

Good question? I do not have the answer but am interested in what others have to say. I have noticed this in my TT and it is only 6 years old? I thought about a flexable calking but am not sure?

There has been a lot of discussion on this forum about this problem! This can not be fixed and some have replaced their windows to fix this problem. This has been happening for some time now and unless it is under warranty you are stuck with them.

I just had mine fixed yesterday. Same problem. Took it to my auto glass company(I am probably their fav customer as I have a magnetic personality....I attract rocks aimed at our auto and rv windshields). They put sealant on it at no cost and said that should fix it. Only time will tell if they are right.....but have seen these guys in action for a number of years....and they appear to know their business.

I have the same "droopy" problem on a couple of bedroom windows. However it appears to be an internal rubber spacer that is drooping as the seal integrity still seems to be OK.

Sorry, I did a search and did not see anything specific to my issue. I found some posts dealing with double paned windows, but my windows are only single pane. Seems like overkill to replace perfectly good windows because of a few small outside rubber seals?

I think the drooping seals are caused by the rubber shrinking. I fixed mine by sliding the rubber up to the drooping corners. This left a space in the center where the rubber is split on each side of the window posts. I filled in the space with black butal rubber. The same stuff I used to seal the windows fames to the outside of the M/H.

I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS, DOING WHAT WAS described here. This is what I did, about two weeks ago and it is stiil holding. I went to Autozone and bought the adhesive that you use on rubber seal for your car doors. They have yellow or black colors. Hope this helps,
