Bill Had the same problem a while ago. Here is what I did. First Replaced the little fiber washers on the pivot points there is three washers per window. Easy to do hex allen key removes the screws. Unfortunately this only solved part of the problem. Now the water doesn't leak at the mounting ( pivot ) points. I found the water runs down the outside of the glass and sits in the rubber seal. It then builds up and spills over into the inside of the vent window. I read in the archives ( cannot remember the date ) how one member popped open the vent window and filled the rubber groove with silicon, then closed the window and let the silicon harden. This filled the groove, bobs your uncle, fixed. I don't know if this works but I am willing to try
