I believe about 98 is when carver changed window designs on the aft cabins boats So do you have large sliding windows in the salon or do you have fixed salon windows with a small opening window?

Welcome to the forum.....before going further, clean the window channels real well, ( small brushes etc ), many times that will stop the leaks because the small drains were plugged.....good luck with your boat....

Start with cleaning tracks out as Bud37 says. Aft window pile I pulled out and replaced with stick on pile as the original is plastic backed and can only be replaced 2 ways, take the window out and apart or you'll have to grind a notch out of the original track big enough to feed the new plastic back pile into the channels. SAme with the side windows!
