Leaking port slider. What likely needs to be done to fix?
I ran hose over roof simulating rain. The water sheets directly into window channel despite roof overhang.

Clean the track drains. They are the little bumps or tabs sticking out of the lower part of the window frame.

The most likely reason is the rubber window gaskets. My windows have 2or 3 inch gaps where the rubber shrunk I need to fix that as well.
There are other threads about that with sources for the gaskets. Steele rubber products, diamond sea glaze

Mine was leaking from the seal tape behind the starboard window. I'm pretty sure they just did a marginal job on install, but I don't know for sure. I cleaned everything up, put in new tape, and now it leaks on the other side, which isn't mine, so I don't care.
