Hi all ,i have got a series 3 Bailey Pagaent Loire and have got a leaking front window . I cant see why its not sealing ,so should i look at replacing the seal ,and if so is this a tricky or expensive job ? Any advice on this would be great .With thanks, Graham .

HI GRAHAM ihave had the same prob with my series 5 pagent's front left window the water was running down the slope of the rubber seal dripping onto the shelf below, it seemed as if the water was comming from where the ends of the seal joined,& when the seal was compressed the water seemed to be actually comming from inside the seal.When checked with a damp meter the wall board between & below the windows showed up as 40%damp. It turned out to be the sealant above the windows faulty. resulted in windows removed & new sealant applied , new window rubber seals & new wallboard

Graham, I had similar problems with both my left and right front windows. Following the advice on another forum, I bought a bottle of Auto Glym Bumper Care (from Halfords), and gave the rubbers a good coating of it - result, no more leaks. In my case, the water appeared to be creeping upwards (capillary action?) between the window and the seal, and the Bumper Care seems to soften the rubber and give a proper seal.

Hope it works for you.
