Rain water in double glazed window

[James_374453798]

On last camp trip, noticed large amount of water in the front side double glazed window,after very heavy rain storm, Can the rain water be removed by DIY, or does the window have to be replaced

if it is more than condensation, which it does sound like, then the compound that sticks the two sides of the window has failed somewhere

i dont know how handy you are but it is possible to make a temporary fix

to get the water out you need to to take the window off and remove the bungs very carefully and drain as much as you can and look at the side seams of the windows there must be a patch where the seal is broken, if you can find it and pump in small amounts of silicone sealant into the gaps (open gap with small screwdrivers carefully)

if the is a big gap try and get all the water out through there first and then seal, it does work
