Thanks Piter69A for posting your advise.
I know the window to frame seal tends to leak. But I'm confident that that is not the case here. I had that problem some years ago and sealed that. Also at that time I could find waterdroplets running over steel frame inside. Now all I can find is water below the frame, where it meets the body. I've put some sticky tape over gap between window frame and body (outside) and there is no more water getting inside anymore.
Prado t....yes your problem is a very common one. I knew about it when I bought my rig (at that time it was almost new). First thing I did was to take out every bold that portruded through the frame wall and spray the inners with tectyl liberally - very liberally I must admid - so even three or four days later I would find tectyl that leaked out of the frame. (There must be some ventopenings in the lower area of the frame you cannot see). And I have no rust problem at all. The rig is now almost 13 years old and many of this age have their frames looking like Swiss cheeses. So if you get a new frame get a fibreglass one (they exist!) or if you get a steel one, soak it.
