Water inside nose cap window 3711fl

Looking for advice on where to look for a leak on the nose cap of my montana 3711fl(2017).
After it rains there is water between the plastic and the window on the inside. No indication of water on inside of glass and no indication if it is coming dow the sides. Thanks for any advice.

Have you checked the roof where the rubber roof transitions to the cap? I would suspect that location before I would think the glass seal would be leaking.

I would use a squirting gun to blast water at the whole outside seal starting at the bottom glass to seal and work up sides to top. Then I would do the seal to fiberglass junction starting again at the bottom and then up sides to top. That way you can eliminate both junctions and all the way around seal. Just don't 100% trust that some assembly worker will get it right on the more difficult area to assemble. Bob may be right and if so then you can check out the window.

If you use the water test allow time to pass before moving to another area. Sometimes water takes a bit to travel.

I had water coming in from the brow lights on the cap. They were not sealed properly.
